The Turquoise Coast/Lycia region
Güllük, in Turkish, means “place of roses” and this beautiful location within a bay and adjacent to the Aegean sea enjoys fabulous sunsets. Surrounded by forests, olive, almond and orange plantations, the Bay of Güllük is full of small-unspoilt bays, coves and beaches.
Güllük now embraces tourism and is set to expand and regenerate further as the influx of tourists increase with more foreign owned properties being developed and completed. The town is a welcoming location and remains traditional. This is not the place for a big Mac, a pint of John Smiths or Brits creating anti-social behaviour. It is traditional Turkish, friendly and that is the appeal. This is the place to unwind and relax, enjoy a quiet drink at one of the local bars and a typical Turkish meal at one of the several excellent restaurants. The pound is still good value against the Turkish Lira, making for an inexpensive stay whether eating in or out.
The plans for Güllük are very exciting and when coupled to its excellent location for transfers to and from the airport, Bodrum town and marina and the abundance of history and culture along the Bodrum peninsular it has all the makings of a perfect holiday location for those seeking quiet and peaceful surroundings in the immediate area but plenty to see and do close by.
The Bodrum peninsular has become a haven for visitors seeking enjoyable holidays and visiting the area by car, bus or boat trips. This is an area where the pace of life is steady and enjoyable.
Climate The sun shines endlessly on the Bodrum peninsula, from May to October, with very little humidity. Whilst the peak summer months of July and August can be quite hot, Güllük has the added benefit of always having a lovely sea breeze, keeping the temperature some 2 to 3°C cooler in peak season. Additionally, it has been acknowledged that this area of Turkey has a winter climate similar to that of Spain and subsequently is rising in popularity as a destination for a mild winter break and for future golfing breaks.
Average summer Güllük monthly temperatures in °C (F) are as follows: May 26 (79), June 29 (84), July 33 (91), August 34 (93), Sept 29 (84), Oct 24 (75)
Bodrum / Gulluk area
Bodrum, which is only a 30 minute drive, provides the cosmopolitan, vibrant and busy town with a large Marina and all amenities for a perfect day out, including a McDonalds ! but Gulluk provides all that is usually required at a much more leisurely pace. For a leisurely visit to a larger but still typical Turkish town, a visit to Milas is recommended, again reached within about 25 minutes.
Both towns can be reached by car, taxi or inexpensive Dolmus from Gulluk centre. With a Dolmus passing within a short distance of the villa on a regular route into Gulluk, journey time about 4 minutes, a quick transfer in the town would result in easy connections to either Bodrum or Milas.
Gulluk is able to provide - shops, bars, restaurants, internet cafes, health centre, pharmacies, supermarkets, a weekly market, a Garanti bank, cash ATM's and a police station. Everything is within close proximity and around the harbour area which caters for boat trips and the purchase of fresh fish.
The local people, who are friendly and accommodating, often meet most evenings to talk or dine in the town, providing an ambience which is typically Turkish and welcoming to visitors.
Naturally, in a small town where fish is landed by the harbour side, it is an inexpensive dish in most restaurants. For those who prefer not to visit the town but enjoy the peace of the villa, there are two small supermarkets close by.
A short walk from the villa there are two public beaches, with sea temperatures warm all year round. One of the beaches at nearby Oba provides not only a good family location but also an inexpensive cafe bar overlooking the bay. There is also an excellent small terraced restaurant at a nearby hotel, with friendly owners and again a view to the bay.
Two new Championship standard golf courses are due for completion in 2009/10 and both within a 10 minute drive from Gulluk.
For those with children, the opportunity to swim with dolphins is only 20 minutes drive away and a water park is only 35 minutes from Gulluk, but the appeal of the Gulluk area, with it's local ambience and hospitality is still a main part of a holiday in this area.
For those wishing to experience the rich culture and history of the area, it is in plentiful supply.
The transfer from Bodrum-Milas International airport is a very welcome 15 minute drive to Gulluk town or 20 minutes to the villa, resulting in holidays literally starting after leaving the airport with no further extended journeys onwards.
