The Penthouse apartment is on the 3rd floor and has the advantage of a large private roof terrace with views over the surrounding area. It is part of a small, private complex, which is in a quiet area but close to all the local ammenities and on the local transport route.

Internal accomodation comprises of large open plan Living/kitchen area with built in kitchen units, cooker/hob/aspiratör, dishwasher and large fridge freezer. The living area is bright and spacious and has a fully working fireplace and double patio doors leading out onto the balcony.

The hallway leading off to the bedrooms has large fitted cupboards providing ample storage.

The Master bedroom has a double bed and an ensuite shower room, the second double bedroom has its own balcony and the third double bedroom is also bright and spacious. There is a second family bathroom with a shower.

The complex itself is small and private and has a communal swimming pool and seating area.

The property is ideally located close to both Bitez and Gumbet and 2 of the biggest shopping cnetres on the Peninusla – The Avenue and Oasis.

BITEZ (or Agacli – meaning ‘full of trees’) is one of the main citrus growing areas on the peninsula. If I think of Bitez, I think of Mandarin Gardens, Olive Groves and evening walks along the promenade which runs alongside the beach. The beach here is one of the cleanest on the peninsula. The restaurants and cafes that line the promenade offer turkish, oriental and international cuisine. Each restaurant offers the free use of sunbeds on the shoreline. There are no noisy bars or night clubs here so you can be assured of a relaxing meal or stroll.

The old village of Bitez is a 15 minute walk inland and remans totally unspoilt by tourism. In my opinion, Bitez is one of the most elegant resorts on the peninsula.

GUMBET, so called because of the numerous white domed cisterns in the area, features one of the longest sandy beaches on the peninsula, popular with sun-worshipers and watersport enthusiasts alike. It’s crescent shaped sheltered bay is lined with large hotels, bars and restaurants. At the far end of the beach is the jetty where dozens of Gulets depart on their daily cruises. Above the jetty is the hill that separates Gumbet from Bodrum. Pearched on the top are several old windmills. There are fabulous views of both Gumbet and Bodrum from here.

Parallel to the bay is the main street. By day this is fairly quiet but at night it transforms into a hive of activity with it’s bright lights, bar, restaurants and disco bars. Gumbet, it has to be said, is one of the most vibrant resort on the peninsula and is popular with tourists of many nationalities. Gumbet does, however, offer something for all tastes and age groups.

The weekly market is held in Gumbet every Sunday. It is a smaller version of the market held in Bodrum but it is never crowded.

Bodrum: Formerly known as Halicarnassos, Bodrum is home to the Mausoleum – one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Bodrum’s famous Castle of St. Peter rests between two bays, one of which houses the large Marina where the many fishing boats and wooden gullets (daily, sunset and weekly cruises) jostle with the yachts of the rich and famous.

The Marina is lined with quiet bars and restaurants and has a sophisticated atmosphere where people pass many an hour watching the boats come and go. Next to the Marina is the bazaar – a pedestrianised area of narrow streets full of shops, restaurants & bars.
