Depart from Bodrum port or hotel, and you will start visiting Bafa Lake - Heraclia. The Latmos Mountains surround the lake. Situated at the head of Latmian Gulf, Heraclia was called Latmus at the beginning, taking its name from the impressive mountain reaching a height of 1300 meters above sea level.
Heraklia, located at the head of the gulf, never became an important city; it was far from the famous trade road from Ephesus to Didyma - Miletus and Priene. These mystic mountains are an excellent area for ambitious hiking and trekking tours. Since 700 A.D., hermits and monks have left their marks on these remote mountain slopes. Byzantine monasteries and hermit caves are a favorite destination for study trips.
The Kapikiri Village is built on the ruins of the ancient city Herakleia, the present houses in many cases resting directly on the old foundations. Stones from surrounding ruins were used to build new homes, walls, streets, and property boundaries. Herakleia Although it was located in Ionia, Herakleia was a Carian city in character, and the events of Caria formed its history.
