Gundogan Estate Agents: Properties for Sale in Turkey
Gundogan is situated in the North-West of the Bodrum Peninsula,
and it is only a few minutes drive to the West of Yalikavak.
Caves, windmills, cisterns, rockcut monasteries bear witness
to the great past of the town. Known in antiquity as Farilya
(meaning sunrise), Gundogan rightly claims to have been one
of the earliest human settlements on the Bodrum Peninsula as
Old Bronze Age ceramics, polished stone axes and milling stones
have been found in a nearby cave. This extensive cavern encrusted
with stalagmites and stalactites is a natural wonder not to
be missed.
Yet another fascinating destination for visitors to Gundogan
is Big Rabbit Island with its still standing remains of a Byzantine
monastic settlement, provisionally dated to the 9th century
A.D.
Today Gundogan is a quite relaxing place, its touristic facilities
surrounding the long bay which is a paradise for swimmers and
watersports enthusiasts alike. Gundogan Beach, which is one
of the longest in Bodrum peninsula, is beautifully situated
among the tangerine, olive and pine trees. Gundogan bay is quite
suitable for sailing and surfing.
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
