What to see
Fish restaurants line the waterfront facing Rabbit Island (Tavşan Adası), linked to the shore by a shallow, partly submerged strip that many people wade across when the sea is calm. Scattered remains of Myndos lie around the bay and under the water.
An afternoon and evening; the sunset over the islands is the classic end to a Bodrum day.
Building is restricted here because of the ancient site, which keeps the village small. Parking at the edge of the village fills up in summer evenings.
