Next to the Bafa lake 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.
