Bencik on the route is located in the narrowest part of the peninsula separating Hisarönü Bay from Gökova Bay. In 550 B.C., the Cnidians wanted to open the narrowest part of the peninsula for one kilometer as a defense line against the Persian army coming to the Datça Peninsula and to unite the Gulf of Gökova and the Gulf of Hisarönü. Thus, the two seas would merge, the peninsula would become a complete island, and defense would be easier. This project started but failed and the Persians captured Cnidos.
