LORYMA
There are very scant signs left of the ancient city of loryma at the place called Bozukkale (‘ruined castle’) today, but the remaining massive walls and towers of the fortress protecting the entrance to the harbor are truly impressive and worth a visit. Prof. George Bean tells us that the Athenian fleet assembled in this harbor during the peloponnesian War ca. 400 B.C.
The place also is mentioned in the writings of the byzantine emperor constantine porphyrogenitus as an arsenal, and it was known until quite recently as opsolika (arsenal) bay – now a pleasant spot to drop anchor overnight
