Loryma, at the tip of the Bozburun Peninsula, where the ruins of the ancient harbour and castle remain, can only be reached by boat. Natural quiet bays and scattered islands punctuate the northern shore of the peninsula, ideal for those who want to get away from it all. There are very scant signs left of the ancient city of loryma at the place called Bozukkale (‘ruined castle’) today, but the remaining massive walls and towers of the fortress protecting the entrance to the harbor are truly impressive and worth a visit.

Prof. George Bean tells us that the Athenian fleet assembled in this harbor during the peloponnesian War ca. 400 B.C. The place also is mentioned in the writings of the byzantine emperor constantine porphyrogenitus as an arsenal, and it was known until quite recently as opsolika (arsenal) bay – now a pleasant spot to drop anchor overnight.

Pedasa is four kilometres away as the crow flies, on the top of a hill covered with trees. As there is no road and you can only get there on foot. For those who are interested this trip will give them a pleasant hike and great satisfaction. The ruins can be seen on the top of the hill, within a circle of 150 metres in diameter. The remains are generally of the walls and the inner castle. To the south and south east of this area you can see tombs in the style of the Lelegs.

Old Myndos was also a Leleg city. Its ruins are located on Bozdag Hill, one kilometre inland from Kadikalesi. There is no road to the hill and walking up takes about an hour. On top you will the ruins of the city walls and the remains of a square building. The view from the top, which encompasses the whole of modern Gumusluk and a large part of the Bodrum peninsula, is extremely impressive. The people of Old Myndos were relocated to New Myndos during the rule of Mausolus II.

Leleg is Three kilometres to the south west of Yalikavak, on the two hills above the village of Geris, there are the ruins of the Leleg settlement that was believed to be Uranion. On the top of the hill near the shore there is the ruins of a mausoleum, walls and towers.

On one of the hills that face Golturkbuku is Madnasa (Kokpinar Tepesi) and the other hill Sibda/Side (Karadag). In both cities there are the remains of walls and towers from the acropolis and some ceramic and pottery pieces. In order to get to Sibda you have to turn off the road to Yukari Golkoy and go to the village of Belen by car. By walking from Belen for 40 minutes you get to the ruins of a church and a castle. Another 40 minutes walk gets you to Karadag where the ruins of Sibda are to be found. While the ruins are not very spectacular the view that gives you a panorama of the Bodrum peninsula are.
