Gumbet Things To Do

The golden sand beach is the main focus of the resort in Gumbet and therefore it can become quite busy during peak periods however it is only one of many beaches along this stretch of coast allowing a new escape to be found for every day. The beach itself is a narrow stretch of primarily sand, with a little shingle, and backed back bars and restaurants. Off the beach runs numerous types of water sports and these can be booked either through your hotel or on the beach itself.

Water sports are huge on a holiday in Turkey and it is well known as a sailor's paradise. For the sailor in you this is natural destination but for those who haven't known the pleasure yet or would prefer to stay on land it is not a boring destination. Chartering a boat, yacht or traditional wooden gulet is a great way to gain another perspective of the stunning Turkish coastline and these can be done in groups in privately.

Outside of the summer peak trekking and mountain biking allows you to get off the beach and explore the Turkey's interior. Speak to your hotel or resort for a recommend on company or route to take and see scenery and wildlife you simply can't find in the UK. Just outside of Gumbet are two water parks which is great news for people of all ages. Dedeman Aquapark is the biggest of the two and boasts slides galore, wave pools, flumes and rivers!

Gumbet is packed full of shopping, bars, restaurants, clubs and traditional tavernas so you might need a week for this and a week for the beaches! The local markets sell fruit, vegetables and household items for locals however specialise in silverware, leather goods, jewellery, authentic spices, as well as traditionally designed and made rugs and carpets. They are great for picking up a quick gift for friends and family back home as well as getting that must have item you just can't find in the UK.
