Bargasa (Ancient Greek: Βάργασα) or Pargasa (Πάργασα) was a city of ancient Caria.[1] It was a polis (city-state) and a member of the Delian League.[2] There are also coins of Bargasa with the epigraph Βαργασηνῶν. It is mentioned by Strabo, who, after speaking of Cnidus, says, "then Ceramus and Bargasa, small places above the sea."[3]
Its site is located near Gökbel, in Milas district, Asiatic Turkey.[4][5]
