                PIRI REIS MAP



Throughout  history Gümüşlük (Ancient Myndos), Turkey has always been a natural harbour for medium size boats.
 

Even PIRI REIS, the famous Turkish admiral has devoted two full pages for Gümüşlük harbour in his book.               


It is astounding to see that the Satellite Photos of today and the map of Gümüşlük drawn by "Piri Reis" are almost

the same.
