Telmossos is on the Bodrum Turgutreis road, three kilometres past Ortakent. The site is in the village of Gurece, which is two kilometres before the turn for Gumusluk, with the hill where the remains are to be found to the north of the main road. You can see remains of the Hellenistic period, mainly the towers of the city’s walls. The historian Herodotus say that there was the Temple of Apollo here and that is was famed for its oracles. However, no traces of the temple have survived.
