This little village is hiding in a charming little bay. Heading North of Bodrum Torba is the nearest village. It is only active during the summer months, but due to the generally high quality of the holiday home developments is a pleasant and relaxed place to visit. There are also
|
|
|
|
| |
| the remains of a Byzantine monastery, and nearby is a small path leading to the next bay, which is ideal for a little light walking. |

Once an important fishing center, Gündogan's major economies are now agriculture (primarily citrus fruit) and tourism. A few small but comfortable hotels dot the beach, and the intimate seaside restaurants proudly serve the fresh catches of Gündogan's remaining |
|
|
|
| |
fishermen. A seaside road occupies most of the available beachfront but the numerous jetties jutting from the shore provide plenty of comfortable and private spots for sunning and swimming. Daily boats for hire are available from the small harbor. |
