An idyllic although sometimes very busy anchorage on the north west side of the Bodrum peninsular between Turgutreis and Yalikavak. Gumusluk is an ancient harbour, known during former times as Myndos, and some traces of the former settlement remain - especially the half-submerged remains of the ancient breakwaters at the entrance to the harbour. The bay should be entered close to the island on the east side in order to avoid the sunken remains of the mole on the west (which are usually buoyed anyway). Once inside, anchor wherever you can, if necessary taking a line ashore or dropping a kedge anchor to avoid swinging. Depths range from 15-16 meters in the centre to 5-10 meters at the head and sides of the bay. Holding is good once through the weed. Alternatively, it may be possible to anchor moor back to the wooden jetty in front of the village (although the overnight charge, currently TRYL30, is kept deliberately high in order to deter private yachts). The anchorage is usually very crowded with private yachts and gulets bringing diners to the restaurants lining the bay and care is usually needed when placing your anchor to avoid frayed tempers. Dining ashore is good - especially fish - but expensive. | An idyllic although sometimes very busy anchorage on the north west side of the Bodrum peninsular between Turgutreis and Yalikavak.

Berthing Options
Bodrum is one of Turkey's major yachting regions. As a result there are here 4 marinas (Bodrum Marina in Bodrum, Yalikavak Marina, and Turgutreis Marina about 15 nM NW), a boatyard (Icmeler Yat, Port Atami Marina), and several anchorages.
The old Bodrum Harbor caters to commercial gulets and does not welcome yachts.

37°03.3′N, 27°14′E
An idyllic although sometimes very busy anchorage on the north west side of the Bodrum peninsular between Turgutreis and Yalikavak. Gumusluk is an ancient harbour, known during former times as Myndos, and some traces of the former settlement remain - especially the half-submerged remains of the ancient breakwaters at the entrance to the harbour. The bay should be entered close to the island on the east side in order to avoid the sunken remains of the mole on the west (which are usually buoyed anyway). Once inside, anchor wherever you can, if necessary taking a line ashore or dropping a kedge anchor to avoid swinging. Depths range from 15-16 meters in the centre to 5-10 meters at the head and sides of the bay. Holding is good once through the weed. Alternatively, it may be possible to anchor moor back to the wooden jetty in front of the village (although the overnight charge, currently TRYL30, is kept deliberately high in order to deter private yachts). The anchorage is usually very crowded with private yachts and gulets bringing diners to the restaurants lining the bay and care is usually needed when placing your anchor to avoid frayed tempers. Dining ashore is good - especially fish - but expensive.
