The Gumbets of Bodrum

A gumbet; one of the tiny, dome-shaped water cisterns native to Bodrum and surrounding regions in the Eastern Aegean.

Another gümbet, this time near Ortakent, Bodrum. This is an even older one. Such structures may also be seen in some of the Greek islands.

And here is the beautiful view of the Ortakent bay from the top of the gümbet's dome.
