Soak up the sights, smells and tastes of this coastal charmer with our guide of top things to do in Gumbet. Our love affair with this place doesn’t stop here…
Ever heard of Gumsluck beach and Bodrum beach? Well, Rabbit Island separates the two and we must admit, it’s as adorable as it sounds! You can reach this precious paradise by walking on the ancient pathway, built by King Halicarnassus Mousolos himself, up to the tip of the island. Along the way, you will spot rabbits hopping about their day."
If you can drag yourself away from the beach for more water scenes, the Bodrum Aqua Park awaits. Impressively hosting an arcade of waterslides, a diverse range of pools including river and wave pools, and a multitude of restaurants with entertainment, you’re bound for something to remember! Nestled on the outskirts of Bodrum, the aqua park is reached best by the local bus.
When it comes to ancient sites to visit, Bodrum hits the spot. By grabbing a dolmus (local bus) to Bodrum, right from central Gumbet, you can visit the Museum of Underwater Archaeology, the Amphitheatre, and the Mausoleum. If you fancy a day trip dating back a couple of centuries, the ancient ruins of Ephesus city are home to some of the most extensive Roman ruins and architecture. The Archaeological site is situated in Izmir, about 175 km from Gumbet.
Ah, Altinkum beach – a majestic bay made for bathing in a sun-kissed glow. The sea floor, as clear as gin, gently slopes, its blonde-shaded sands, clustered with bamboo thatched parasols. If you’ve had enough of relaxing in the sun, dive into the wonderful waters to find legions of fish, sunken shipwrecks, hidden caves plus much more! With an extensive choice of splendid diving schools and sites, snorkelling here is a must.
