The Turquoise Coast/Lycia region
The Bodrum Peninsular is a compact area of protected forests, seaside villages, dramatic, panoramic clifftop journeys, quiet baysand secluded inland villages. The visitor to the peninsular will be able to visit any part of thge peninsular within 30 to 45 minutes using their own car or the reliable dolmus. The town of Bodrum is situated at the Southern end of the Peninsular. Bodrum is a highly popular,cosmopolitan tourist destination. Its houses tumble down curving hill to a sparkling bay lined with restaurants and Turkish Gulets, gently bobbing in a sun dappled Aegean. In this throbbing centre you can shop, eat, disco, take day or moonlight boat cruises around the Peninsular. Evidence of Bodrum's long history can be seen everywhere, including the dramatic Roman ampitheatre, in the hills above the bay (still used for atmospheric open-air concerts), the Crusader Castle and Museaum of Underwater Archaeology, down by the harbour.Bodrum offers a complete contrast to the tranquility of Villa Yasmin in the Gundogan hills.
Bodrum / Gundogan area
Villa Yasmin is located in the hills above Gunogan. It is a five minute drive by car or dolmus from Gundogan. Gundogan, the ancient Farilya, is a still relatively peaceful and unspoilt fishing village. In the Summer period it becomes a lively, but in comparison to Bodrum, a sedate centrte, which offers excellent eating at the restaurants lining the bay, fishing, swimming and diving trips, a weekly traditional Turkish market, and is an ideal point from which you can visit the neighbouring villages of Yalikavaqk and Gumusluk. Within a five minutes walk fron the villa are small supermarkets and a private beach available for the use of visitors to the Heredot complex. The beach has a small beach and a number of jetties from which you can fish, dive or sunbathe. Villages to Visit Yalikavak Yalikavak is a thriving fishing village, with a breezy and very picturesque harbour, with lush planted gardens, a wide selection of fish restaurants, where you can eat on the very harbour edge at sunset, and has a very tranqil atmosphere in complete contrast to the noise and bustle of Bodrum. An ancient water cistern has become a small art gallery, a former olive press has been turned into a kilim showroom, and the pedestrianised shopping area offers rather more upmarket shopping than is available in Bodrum.
Gumuslik Gumusluk is the harbour of the ancient city of Myndos. It is a quiet seaside village, with a protected and pedestrianised harbour. It has maintained its traditional appearance through the strictly enforced building regulations along the seafront area. Here you can wade through the warm, waist high waters to picnic and explore the nearby Rabbit island. Gumusluk is a twenty minute drive along one of the most most scenic clifftop roads on the Peninsular.
