Bodrum Peninsular GullukBodrum is a vibrant and sophisticated town and is a magnet to many visitors each year who are attracted by its Mediterranean atmosphere‚ history and culture. There is something for everybody in Bodrum‚ superb shops‚ the finest restaurants‚ night clubs‚ markets‚ the unforgettable Red Fort‚
a superb marina and much more. It’s relaxing‚ it’s vibrant‚ it’s fun! At the north of the Peninsula‚ just 35 minutes by road from Bodrum‚ lies the delightful fishing town of Gulluk. Gulluk translated into in Turkish means "place of roses" a name that accurately reflects this beautiful location on the Aegean Sea. Known regionally as the "fishing paradise of Turkey"‚ it is not surprising that the town of Gulluk is famous for its fish restaurants many specialising in sea bass and sea bream. Apart from its superb and romantic sunsets‚ Gulluk enjoys an enviable reputation of being in a quiet and peaceful location surrounded by olive‚ almond and orange plantations‚ however it is by no means remote. The international airport at Bodrum Milas is just 15 minutes away. Gulluk is enjoying a renaissance brought about by the relocation of the port away from the centre of town. The old port has moved to a new site several kilometres along the coast and this has cleared the way for the development of the town and surrounding area. The plans for Gulluk are very exciting including a new marina and with two 18 hole golf courses recently completed many are already referring to it as the future "St Tropez of Turkey". The renaissance of Gulluk is under way and even with all the exciting plans for the town you can be assured that Gulluk will always retain its special charm. |
