History

The history of Gümbet is linked to Bodrum because it used to be its city district. In the past, Bodrum could boast one of the seven wonders of the world. There used to be a mausoleum, but no remnants have been preserved till today. Less than a kilometer away from the Gümbet city center, you can admire wind mills from the 18th century. The Bodrum city dominant feature - Saint Peter´s Castle from the 15th century - rises about 3 kilometers away from Gümbet. You can visit the Museum of Underwater Archeology there.

Beaches

Gümbet is frequently visited by tourists especially for its beautiful sand beaches, which are missing in the central part of Bodrum . There is a gently sloping entrace into the sea and the sea is calm because Gümbet is situated in a bay. The beaches close to the center are overcrowded but if you continue a bit further you can enjoy the more quiet areas and clean sea. Excursion boats set off from most beaches and they can take you to some amazing places of the Turkish coast, which are inaccessible with a car.
