Above are photos of Gundogan - the area that our close friends Tony and Aylin own property and Aylin's family live. It is a beautiful peninsula of Bodrum - quite wealthy as it has a very upmarket marina, full of expensive yachts. We actually found a little place in Gundogan that we would like to buy, if the price can come down more., We will keep you informed! We spent a lovely afternoon visiting Gundogan, viewing property and then having lunch on the corniche, whilst the girls paddled in the gorgeous sea.
Bodtum is stunning - the views are amazing from almost all areas - mountains in some areas, turquoise sea in others. There is a rule about buildings too - only two stories allowed and all painted either white or stone coloured. No other colours are allowed. Tourism books describe Bodrum houses as sugar cubes dotted on hillsides. It is so true.
WE went into Bodrum city a couple of times - about 25 minutes away from Gumusluk - it is a beautiful old city, full of Greek relics and remnants. The fort looked amazing but we didn't have the time to go in and look around (the kids were hot and bothered by the time we got there), but we did look around some beautiful old markets and have lunch in an open air cafe.
Technoaddicted family! Thought this collage was great!
Each night, after the entertainment finished (about 11pm for us) the adult disco went on till the wee hours - we would go up onto the roof terrace and have a last drink, hot chocolate and check our emails!
