Beşparmak Mountains (
Latin: Latmus;
Ancient Greek: Λάτμος) are a ridge of many spurs located in the
Muğla and
Aydın provinces of
Turkey, running in an east-west direction along the north shore of the former
Latmian Gulf on the coast of
Caria, which became part of Hellenised
Ionia. The city of Latmus, located on the south slopes of Mount Latmus east of
Miletus, was originally a port on the narrow gulf, as reported by
Strabo. He also states that Latmus is the same as
Mount Phthires in the
Catalogue of Trojans.
