Gumbet
Gumbet is a holiday resort created to provide the usual facilities
expected from a beach holiday. Unlike nearby Bodrum, Gumbet has a long beach
curving around a bay, and the space for the hotels and apartments required to
accommodate an expanding package holiday industry.
Gumbet holidays The center of Gumbet comes alive at night with several kilometers
of rope lights in every conceivable color stretched around the outlines of
almost every building, restaurant and disco bar. Flashing neon lights complete
the picture in a final attempt to lure the passing tourists.
Disco bars thrash out this years and yesteryears sounds, mingling
together in the narrow streets, while restaurants tempt the unwary with promises
of Chinese, Indian, Italian, Mexican, Japanese, Thai and even Turkish food, all
from the same kitchen.
As the sun comes up it's time for a traditional breakfast bowl of
soup to help soak up the excesses of the night, a couple of hours sleep, an
afternoon posing on the beach, and another night on the town.
