Travelling from Bodrum past magnificent rock formations and mountain peaks covered in pine forests brings you to the secluded village of Gundogan. Gundogan, meaning ‘Sunrise’, was once an important fishing village but it’s main economy now is tourism and citrus fruit growing. A few small hotels dot the beach and the intimate seaside restaurants serve the fresh catches of the day. Gundogan offers a fresh sea breeze making it popular with water-sport enthusiasts and walkers. This small village is still relatively unspoiled despite the new developments dotted around the surrounding hillsides.
Gundogan also offers some interesting historically sites. The ancient Farilya and Peynir Ciçeði Caves can be found here. A steep climb up the ridge just outside the upper village leads to a flight of 50 steps cut into the rock and the entrance to a small but spectacularly sited monastery. Across the bay is Kucuk Tavsan Island where an old Greek Church is clearly visible on top of the hill.
