Gumbet acts as a playground for a whole host of water sports including windsurfing, water skiing and parasailing. If you're not feeling energetic Gumbet beach is a nice place to simply stretch out in the sun.

Bodrum also has a very distinguished heritage, being home to the tomb of King Mausolus, one of the ancient wonders of the world. The town of Bodrum was built on the remains of the ancient city of Halicanassus. The 15th century crusader castle of St. Peter now dominates the picturesque town and Bodrum holidays can offer a number of ancient sites around the region to explore. The harbour in Bodrum is a great place to find a traditional Turkish meal in one of the seafront restaurants and you can follow it up with a boat trip to one of the nearby Greek islands.
