New Myndos is intertwined with the village of Gumusluk. The city was not much added to after the reign of Mausolus II and was almost forgotten in the Roman period. This is another reason why little remains from the city, as is the case with some other ancient cities on the Bodrum peninsula. The walls that surrounded the city can be also seen from the islet Gumusluk. If from Turgutreis you follow the road to Gumusluk and drive for one kilometre, at the side of the road you can see tombs hewn into the rock.
