Gumbet Holidays

Located just 2 km from Bodrum, Gumbet is fast becoming a self-contained Turkey resort of its own. Not for the fainthearted, Gumbet is buzzing from morning till night and has recently become a resort to note for those who like action. With beachfront bars and restaurants, a wide choice of bars and discos at night, and a gently shelving beach featuring an ever-present refreshing breeze, it has become known as one of the best centres for watersports. But that's not all, the sheltered sand and shingle beach is perfect for long, lazy days.

Once considered merely a suburb of busy Bodrum, today's Gumbet is a lively Turkey holiday resort in its own right, with lots of places to party, ancient monuments to explore, and a magnificent golden beach to stretch out on. At night, bars such as Roxys, Smilers and Shakers come alive with those on Gumbet holidays keen to experience that legendary Gumbet nightlife.

Gumbet holidays are filled with a great amount of watersports opportunities, and the resort has a reputation as the 'watersports centre' of Turkey's southwest. So if you want your Turkey holidays action packed by day and night, holidays in Gumbet are ideal for you. There are even a couple of water parks too, with the requisite chutes, slides and wave pools to sample. You can swim with dolphins at the Dolphin Park, or try your hand at a little scuba diving. It might even be worth taking your passport out for the day on your Turkey holiday - the Greek island of Kos is a short catamaran or ferry boat ride away. Here you can sample some traditional Greek cuisine, take a stroll across herb-scented mountain fields or simply laze the day away at a taverna-lined beach. Kos is one of the prettiest islands in Greece, and more than rewards those who fancy visiting another country while on holiday!
