Gündogan is 25 kilometres from Bodrum. It is one of the more popular holiday resorts of recent years with its beaches and historic places.
Gündogan is a fishermen’s place with its fully sand beach, very clean sea and its greenery. The fishermen’s shelter where the fishing boats and yachts anchor adds colour to the shore. In recent years the summer holiday house owners have also moved to this village area.
However, thankfully they have not touched the houses surrounded with trees of olive, mandarins, bananas, pomegranates and oak. The old and new settlers have protected the character of the place.
In summer the constant breeze gives refreshment to locals and holidaymakers. Since there is wind those who are into wind surfing also flock here.

If it is open, visit the marketplace of Gündogan. Rugs, rush mats and vases are local handcrafts. Moreover, it is cheaper than other parts of the Bodrum Peninsula.
Slightly above the village, in the part where there are rocky and volcanic stones you can see tombs cut into the rock hidden away.
You should go there with a guide or on a trekking tour organised by local travel agencies.
The sunsets at Gündogan are extremely pleasant. Those who want to spend the evening here go to fish restaurants by the waterside. There are restaurants and cafes to cater all tastes and pockets.
