Although nominally a suburb of Bodrum, Gümbet has grown to become a resort in its own right, with its own special character, temperament and appeal.
Some of the most popular hotels of the region are to be found in and around Gümbet Bay.
The long sandy beach is undoubtedly a great attraction, but it’s the combination of the sea, sun, sand and fun that makes Gümbet so popular.
The fun part, of course, is it rollicking night life lived in its multitude of pubs, bars and discos, some boasting air-conditioning and sound-proofing.
A different kind of fun is to be had on the water where watersports are practiced with flair.
Because the beach is within an easy walk from most hotels and the central area, Gümbet is also a favourite with many families with children.
It’s a place for the young and young at the heart. |
