Golturkbuku Estate Agents: Properties for Sale in Turkey

With their recent amalgamation into a single municipality the former villages of Turkbuku and Golkoy are now often referred to as Golturkbuku or Gol-Buk. Located on the site of ancient Caryanda, the home Scylax, a pioneer navigator who explored the coast of the western Indian Ocean in the 6th century B.C., today's Gol-Buk is the favourite summer holiday venue for many many well-off and well-known Turks.

The Golkoy end of the large bay is quiet and restrained, while Turkbuku caters to the more flamboyant. The shore of the latter is lined with numerous restaurants, many with their own jetties which are used for sunbathing in daytime and with tables and chairs replacing sunbeds and towels, for dining at night. Watching the splendid full moon rise from behind the mountains across the bay is almost a religious rite here.

If you come from Torba and go through the village down to the seaside you pass through the ‘land’ of mandarins on your right and left. We are talking about the scented Bodrum mandarins that give a different taste and smell to a gin and tonic when you cut a slice when not ripe yet.

Golturkbuku, with its long beach, small hotels, restaurants and bars is very colourful. There are several fish restaurants with brought piers set up for sun worshippers. A cool breeze blows most afternoons.

The road to Bodrum from Bodrum International Airport (located 40 km from the city) is in excellent condition and International flights are available throughout the year. There are charter flights starting March through October from most major European cities at very reasonable prices
