Fact Sheet Gumusluk    Accommodation in: Gumusluk

GUMUSLUK Altitude: Sea Level, Airport 45Km from the village.

Gumusluk (Goo-moosh-look), is about 20 minutes by car or local minibus from Bodrum, on the opposite side of the Bodrum Peninsula. The village is still a lively fishing port, with no less than twelve fish restaurants along the promenade, displaying a wide variety of locally caught seafood, (and some 'not-so-local'). No cars are allowed in the central area, which is only a short walk from the car park. The westerly aspect of Gumusluk provides some spectacular sunsets, which can be appreciated over an evening aperitif, listening to the distant chugging of the single piston diesel engines of the fishing boats.
