Palaemyndus or Palaia Myndos ( Ancient Greek: Παλαιάμυνδος or Παλαιὰ Μύνδος) was a town of ancient Caria, near Myndus, which was its successor settlement. [1] Palaemyndus seems to have been the ancient place of the Carians which became deserted after the establishment of the Dorian Myndus. [2]

Its site is located near Bozdağ, Asiatic Turkey. [3] [4]
