BAFA LAKE HISTORY
Herakleia ancient town on the skirts of LATMOS 'Five fingered mountain' (Besparmak dag) LATMOS which appear after a sudden twist in the road. Latmos mountain in the early morning the mountains seem softly pink, becoming purple towards evening, but always changing and never exactly the same from day to day. Often misty from the summer heat, these fingers seem to point to heaven, or Olympus, with the authority of long geological ages.
HAVE A LOOK AT BAFA LAKE
In early times there was a deep bay of bafa lake
here called Latmos Bay but The River Meander created the rich alluvial plain of Soke by meandering all over the valley and causing the inhabitants of Ephesus, Priene and Miletus to dredge, relocate and finally abandon their towns as the harbours silted up.
An enormous earthquake in AD 17 finally cut of the gulf off from the sea and Lake
Bafa was born. Lake Bafa is 25 kms from Soke and is S.E. of the River Menderes delta
in the Milas-
Next to the Lake Bafa is an ancient town called Herakleia which dates back to the
5th century BC. It was a member of the Attika Delos Sea Union and was used until
the end of the Middle Ages. Around 1000 BC a small town called Latmos was established
here but was engulfed by Herakleia during the Hellenistic period (300 BC). There
is a long tradition of mysticism surrounding the area. In pre-Greek times the highest
mountain was called Mount Latmus (Latmos), at a time when 'Lat' was the name of the
moon goddess. According to Greek mythology a handsome shepherd called Endymion lived
on the slopes of Mt. Latmus.
