Bayir Village

Nestled in the Bozburun Peninsula of southwestern Turkey, Bayir Village traces its origins back to 200 BC, built on the ruins of the ancient city of Syrna. The village’s mosque stands atop the site of the temple dedicated to Asklepios, the Greek god of health. Visitors can explore the acropolis, fragments of the old city walls, and several gravestones, offering a tangible connection to the area’s rich history. Today, history enthusiasts can wander through the remains of this once-thriving settlement, experiencing the layers of time and culture that have shaped Bayir.
