Be charmed by Gulluk

Local Turkish people have long relished this charming little resort on the Aegean coast for its lovely quaint harbour and delightful beaches.

It’s also a working fishing village so each evening you can buy your fish fresh from the boats, stopping after for a drink at one of the bars in the harbour before strolling home.

Add all this charm to beautiful surroundings, low cost of living, year round warm climate and friendly local people and it’s easy to see why more and more people are being drawn to settle here from across Europe.

Warm, sunny days out

You’ll never be bored in Gulluk as the year round warm weather means you can spend more days on the beach, swimming and topping up your tan. And on other days you can play a game of tennis, walk through a leafy forest or learn a new water sport.

But it’s probably best to save all those historic sites for cooler days when you can take a trip to see the incredible ruins at Ephasus or visit the stunning amphitheatre at Priene.

With such a low cost of living, there’s nothing to stop you buying some treats at the Thursday market in Gulluk or in the designer shops or bazaars in nearby Bodrum. And afterwards enjoy a meal at one of Gulluk’s fish restaurants or dance the night long at a nightclub in Bodrum.
