Text Box: Local Information Like other villages and towns, Gulluk has a market day and this is held on a Thursday in the village square. Fresh fruit, vegetables, dried fruit, nuts, spices, clothes, hardware can be found in abundance. Well worth a visit. Try the apple tea. If you, as a vistitor, want to eat and drink like a local then Joan Peterson's 'Eat smart in Turkey' (how to decipher the menu, know the market foods and embark on a tasting adventure) is well worth a read.    23rd April - Gulluk Celebrates National Independence & Childrens Day.   Gulluk Update November 2008 Gulluk is currently undergoing major changes with the main road into the village being widened into a 'boulevard' and in the centre of the village a new building incorporating an underground suite of two 40 seater cinemas, a fitness centre, shops and a swimming pool.

The primary intention is to promote interest and skill in sailing among the captains and crews of Bodrum's charter fleet. It is also a celebration of the ending of each year's cruising season, a means to bring together in a friendly encounter charter yachts that normally cruise on their own. This is a fun event organized since 1989, held every third week in October. The pictures show the yachts moored in Gulluk on 24th October when the village was treated to an excellent firework display.    Mavi boncuk This is a talisman generally made of glass/ceramics which protects the person/home from the evil eye.
