What to see

Sunbeds, water sports and beach bars fill the bay; behind it are hotels and the bars that make Gümbet the party end of the peninsula.

Convenient for a beach day close to town; for calmer water, go on to Bitez.

Expect loud music in the evenings in high season.

Getting there

About 3 km west of Bodrum centre; dolmuş minibuses run constantly, or walk over the hill in 30 minutes.

Transport lines are general directions, not checked against the operator's timetable.
