Its a traditional fishing village, open all year round, where you can while away the time with the locals in the village tea houses before walking 5 minutes along the seafront to the cocktails, hammocks and dance music of the beach club. It simply has something for everyone.

The Turquoise Coast/Lycia region

Turkey is a beautiful country, with fantastic beaches, cosmopolitan cities, self-contained towns and gorgeous little fishing villages dotted along the extensive coast.. Turkey, on the whole, offers excellent value for money; accommodation, travel, food and drink generally cost next to nothing. Güllük is centrally located to allow easy exploration of the Bodrum peninsula and further afield.

The stretch of coast from Marmaris to Antalya is known as the Turquoise Coast. Protected by the outlying Dodecanese islands, you`ll understand why they call this part of the Aegean the Turquoise Coast when you see the startling blue colour of the water.

This area boasts almost 300 days of sunshine a year with temperatures from the mid 30's in summer to a mild 15 degrees in the winter, making this a delightful location for a winter break.

It is no surprise that water sports feature prominently in activities in this area, including sailing, diving, water skiing and wind-surfing.

If you are interested in archaeology and ancient sites you will be amazed at the number of opportunities to explore remains of amphitheatres, markets, churches, tombs and towns of the Lydian, Lycian, Carian, Ionian, Dorian, Hellenic and Roman civilizations.

Bodrum / Gulluk area

Güllük, in Turkish, means “place of roses” and that probably gives more than a good first impression and introduction to this beautiful location on the Aegean Sea. Güllük is an authentic fishing village located at the north end of the Bodrum Peninsula. As Güllük is literally 10 minutes drive from Bodrum Airport, your holiday can start right away.

The town is surrounded by hills covered with olive, fig and citrus trees overlooking Güllük Bay known as the “fishing paradise of Turkey”. It is not surprising that the town of Güllük is famous for its fish restaurants, where sea bass and sea bream are a speciality.

It has a good range of waterside restaurants and bars, beach clubs, modern supermarkets (Migros / Tesco) and banking facilities, and a weekly open air market whilst retaining its small town charms. The local people are warm, friendly and welcoming and English is widely spoken.

The harbour provides a vibrant spot where fishing boats moor alongside yachts, and locals and tourists mingle along the promenade. During the evenings, the centre of Güllük is closed to road traffic and people spill over into the streets and dine at open-air cafes and restaurants fronting the promenade.

The picturesque Bay of Güllük is full of small-unspoilt bays, coves and beaches and offers views over the historical site of Iassos; an ancient city founded by Greek colonists. Excursions and trips can be booked at one of the booking offices in Güllük centre.

An 18-hole golf course is just 10 minutes from the village, and boat trips go from the bay daily for sightseeing or fishing, water sports and cultural trips to ancient sites such Iassos and Halikarnassus.
The sun shines endlessly on the Bodrum peninsula, all year round, with very little humidity.

The winter months are mild and Güllük is ideal for a short winter break or sunny summer holiday. With sea temperatures ranging from 25 to 16 °C between summer and winter, Güllük is a great location for swimming, sailing and watersports at any time of the year.

Average 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 is approximately 30 minutes drive from the apartment, much of the way running along the picturesque coastline. As you enter the town the impressive St. Peters Castle dominates the waterside area and modern marina. Boats to the nearby islands of Kos and Rhodes run from Bodrum port.

Designer shops sit alongside traditional bazaars and antiquities provide a link to the history of this fascinating area. There are a variety of places to eat - Italian, Thai, Chinese, Mexican , European and traditional Turkish, and children are always welcome. There are also many bars and discos lining the yacht-filled marina.

With sea temperatures ranging from 16 to 25 degrees between summer and winter, Bodrum and Güllük are a great location for a diving holiday at any time of the year. There are two main reefs off the coast with depths of between 6 and 32 metres.

Horse-riding and river-rafting can be done just a little distance from Bodrum. For those who like to be really adventurous, there are Jet skis or you might even fancy Para sailing. Jeep-Safaris are offered by many companies now also.

Just recently an Aqua park has been opened at the Dedeman Aqua Park.
