ha yes it is! going back in spetember! to do it all again!

luv KK

From a families point of view -

I love Gumbet because -
Its only 20 minutes drive away from Bodrum airport;
Its not a huge resort, so even on the outskirts, you're only 10-15 minutes walk away from the beach, shops, and restaurants;
Turkish people absolutely adore children, and so, because our children are looked after so well, us parents feel more relaxed too;
Theres a lot of family-oriented entertainment in the dancing bars away from Bar Street;
Turkish brand fruit ice lollys are yummy ;
Its just over the hill from Bitez, which has a better beach for children - a long bay with very very clean, shallow water;
The shopping is great - everything from bucket & spades and beachwear, to fake Gucci, Prada etc shoes and bags, designer label clothes, lovely leather, and of course beautiful Turkish gold jewelry;
And last but definitely not least - the people you will meet there (Turkish and British) will be the icing on the cake of your holiday, and you'll make friends for life.

im going to bodrum on the 4th of july, could u give me an insight into the nightlife there, best places etc..

kel_15_lancs - try the Fora Bar in Bodrum - there are loads of places - just listen outside for the type of music you like.
We prefered Gumbet for the night life - only about 10 mins away on the Dolmus (about 65p) - loads of Bars and Discos .

Have a great time - we are giving Bodrum a miss this year and trying Icmeler.

ok

ok

we were over in gumbet during the 2004 euro championships and they didnt have sky sports to watch it on so i'm not sure that they will have the channels for the kind of programs that you are on about. but at the end of the day you're on holiday, enjoy the beach in the day and get out for a meal and drinks in the evening.. who needs tv!

Just walk along the main street in Gumbet, loads of them have big screen tv's and advertise on a blackboard outside what they will be showing...we saw footie, grand prix and I'm 99 per cent sure you will get to see Big Brother etc

Hi, we were in gumbet in 2003, and we watched the big brother evictions on a massive screen which was in a bar in the main square- were the water fall is, very easy to find ( gumbet isn't that big ). they usually put blackboards outside advertising the programmes/times,

I can tell you that there is a bar showing Big Brother at least, for sure. I drove down bar street in Gumbet today and saw a massive poster saying as much. Can't tell you the bars name (I was driving) but you cannot miss the poster!

Thanks everyone, its much apreciated!!

Even better than last year,they have built a stage and have a four piece band now,saw a familier face there,just couldn't put a name to it.http://http//i18photobucket.co.thought he had gone to Gracelands in the sky.

Try Hotel Magnific on the beach front for a full english breakfast. For a pre dance drink try Tent Bar which is near Zetas Camp Site!

Big Brother, Eastenders etc are shown in most hotel bars or on most big screens along the front. Mystery Bar, X-Bar and the Karaoke Bar are exellant for a good nite out. They are all on Bar St.

You wont be disapointted with Gumbet, its great.

Market on Tuesday in Turgetries is good!! Dolmus 70p from outside most hotels!

Boat Trips are a definate, camel beach, cliff diving and swimming in sea... ..cant be beaten for a tenner all inc.
We stayed in Hotel Turihan which was very small but if anyone passes go in and tell Rammy, Ali, Ferdi or anyone interested that Nicola And Darryl from Scotland said YO!

The market in Bodrum is on a Tuesday Nikki -

Turgutreis market is on Saturdays.
