Welcome to Gulluk
Located in Mandalya Bay on the Aegean Sea ,also known as the ‘Turquoise Coast’, Gulluk is foremost an unspoilt fishing port north of the Bodrum Peninsular.
Only 10 minutes from the International Bodrum – Milas Airport, ten minutes from the main road to Milas (15K) and Bodrum (45k)
There is an abundance of fish restaurants serving locally caught sea bass and bream, cafes and eating houses. In addition there are several supermarkets, hotels, and banks plus a multitude of local shops and businesses.
Local attractions include the beach, pleasure boat trips and glorious sunsets.
Historically, Gulluk, formerly known as Kulluk prior to 1933, was an import export harbour for the Greeks trading during the Ottoman Empire period. The store buildings and warehouses are today restaurants and shops.
Local industries include fish farming for sea bass and bream, and the export of bauxite from the recently relocated harbour on the outskirts of Gulluk.
