28 km from Milas. It was built on a peninsula surrounded by the sea on three sides in Kıyıkışlacık Village. Iasos, located on the opposite shore of Güllük in Mandalya Bay, is a small settlement established on and around the peninsula where Kıyıkışlacık (Asınkurin) village is located. According to legend, Iasos, founded by communities coming from Argos during the Milen period, was previously an island.

The oldest settlement in the city, which became a peninsula as alluviums filled in over time, dates back to B.C. It has been determined that it dates back to the end of the 3rd millennium. Important buildings of the ancient city are located on this peninsula. The great wall, aqueducts, tombs and the structure called the fish market are located outside the city walls.

The people of Iasos, who were engaged in fishing and trade years ago because there was little agricultural land, continue their old traditions today. However, tourism, real estate and farming and fishing have now been added to the above mentioned fishing and trade.

Iassos, where transportation has become easier with the completion of Güllük airport, looks like an open-air museum with its historical features and a fish paradise with its fish farms. The most important feature of Iassos, which also has wetlands fed by the tributary of the Menderes River, is that it has a protected “Bird Sanctuary” within its borders.

The visitors of the Güllük reeds and bird sanctuary in Iasos include coots, shepherds, mallards, pelicans and herons; It attracts hundreds of local and foreign tourists to the region. In addition to a quiet and peaceful holiday, Kıyıkışlacık beach also offers spearfishing opportunities to its enthusiasts.

Iasos, which is also one of the most important yacht stops in the Aegean, is considered the biggest rival of Bodrum and Güllük regions as it is a holiday destination that can be reached both by land and sea. Both Iassos and Zeytinli are building rapidly. 2000 residences have been completed in the rapidly developing sites in the charming and historical residential area that combines all this beauty. Some of them are under construction.

Some buildings look abandoned. 40% of the finished buildings were filled by summer residents. Housing prices vary between 80-150 billion as of July 2007.
