The former municipality of Gümüşlük (4,046 inhabitants in 2013) is located 25 km of Bodrum.
The flag of Gümüşlük (photo) was white with the municipality's emblem. "Belediyesi" means "Municipality".
The emblem of the former municipality featured two arches representing the ancient town of Myndos.
Myndos, known through its coins and the quite frequent mention made of it by ancient historians and geographers, was inhabited by a Greek colony from Troezen. It was situated on the coast of Caria, lying a little north-west of Halicarnassus on the most northerly of the three Dorian peninsulas. Although a seaport and fortified town, its ride was an unimportant one, the chief event in its history being that, aided by Halicarnassus, it repulsed an attack by Alexander the Great. The Notitiæ episcopatuum allude to it as late as the 12th or 13th century as one of the suffragan sees of Stauropolis. However, only four of its bishops are known: Archelaus, who attended the Council of Ephesus in 431; Alphius, who assisted at the Council of Chalcedon in 451; John who was present at the Council of Constantinople in 680; and another John who went to the Second Council of Nicæa in 787. The remains of a pier and some other ruins are to be seen.

Konacık
Flag of Konacık - Image by Jens Pattke, 3 June 2015
The former municipality of Konacık (11,104 inhabitants in 2011) is located just south-east of Bodrum.
The flag of Konacık was white with the municipality's emblem. "Belediyesi" means "Municipality".
The emblem of the former municipality features columns representing the ruins of the old town of Padasa.
Newly opened to the public, Pedasa has two separate sets of ruins. First off there are the fortifications ringing the hilltop acropolis and enclosing the remains of shops, houses, even a palace, and then there are the ruins of a temple to Athena, a guard-house and a stretch of paved Roman road at the bottom of the hill. As so often at sites with histories as long as this one, there's little left of the Lelegian presence although the lower parts of the walls are believed to date back to the seventh century B.C. Instead, most of what remains today dates from the later Roman occupation.
It was Herodotus who first mentioned the Lelegians, a people, he said, who had first settled in the area south of Troy and then migrated towards Halicarnassus (Bodrum) after the end of the Trojan War. It was only in 2008 that an inscription found inside the ancient temple confirmed that this was indeed the site of Pedasa.
