Their site: Ancient Myndos, where Brutus and Cassius once sheltered
Rabbit Island is located at Gümüşlük, a little seaside village 25km from Bodrum on the western shore of the Bodrum peninsula.
In ancient times it was known as Myndos, and the ruins of this ancient town (destroyed by an earthquake) can still be seen today on Rabbit Island just offshore, or underwater nearby if you go snorkeling, or in the bush that grows beside the bay. Rabbit Island can even be reached via an ancient underwater causeway; and if the tide is right you can still walk out there without getting your knees wet.
The bay of Myndos has always been renowned as a safe, sheltered anchorage, which is why (in 44 BC) Brutus and Cassius (Caesar’s murderers) used Myndos as their fleet base … or so says Shakespeare in his play “Julius Caesar”. Even today on Admiralty charts, the bay of Gümüşlük is listed as a safe harbour for boaties. It’s also a great spot to relax. It’s not crowded nor built out, like so many little bays on the west coast of Turkey. This is probably due to all the ancient remains in the area, which induced the government to ban development hereabouts. You can now only develop an existing house, and there aren’t many of those in this little community by the water. In fact, it feels almost remote. There are quite a few ruins (both Roman and Byzantine) to explore around the Bay. Indeed, walking along the shoreline, I saw many pottery shards from ancient amphorae..
I found this other website that tells a little more about this amazing place.
