Stunning scenary, fantastic beaches, friendly people, wonderful weather, delicious food and something for everybody, whether you love to party, appreciate the local architecture, seek the thrill of the watersports or just want to get away from it all, you can find just what you are looking for in Bodrum.
Shepherds House is in a quiet and relatively unspoilt area but benefits from local amenities such as a supermarket. It offers peace and tranquillity whilst being close enough to the tourist attractions to make it a fun place to be, if and when you want it.
Beautiful Aegean seas, colours from aqua through to deep blue.
The Cuisine is similar to Greek, fresh and varied. The fish is in a league of its own! Caught local on the day.
Turkey is not in the Euro, so the exchange is great.
Bodrum’s second language is English their hospitality exceeds any of the Mediterranean countries.

"Dear Sarah and Steve,
As promised just a short email to let you know our thoughts on the villa at Gumusluk… I say "short" because it can be summed up in one word…. "Perfect!!!"
"The Villa was perfect for what we wanted. It was quiet, peaceful and in a lovely, romantic location. Just the place to get off the World for a while!! Everything we were told would be done, was done - from the Airport transfers, to the pool being cleaned every day, to half a dozen cold beers in the fridge when we arrived at 11:00 pm!! Sarah and Steve, the owners, could not have been more accomodating and we were looked after by Husseyin throughout our stay (who was always available but never intrusive!) I have no hesitation in recommending the Villa to anyone who wants a great value holiday, in a superb location, staying in excellent surroundings!! (But take plenty of mosquito repellent - they get VERY hungry in the evening!!) Thanks to all for helping us have a truely wonderful holiday! Nigel Streeter."
"Reviewing: Koyunbaba (Shepherds) Villa, Gumusluk Bay (Property Ref: 2982) 30/09/05
Photos do not do this property justice, building and view lovely. Much building work going on nearby but not intrusive or noisy (and behind property so you cant see it!). Car essential, so glad we had one. A lot more than 30 mins from Bodrum airport (unless you have helicopter!). Pool chilly but refreshing (Sept) and cleaned regularly. Stone BBQ with lovely view, fly screens and shutters on all windows and good air-conditioning in all rooms. Nearby Limon restaraunt a must and Yalikavak market on Thursday. Young children prepare to have your cheeks pinched a lot! Smashing holiday, much recommended, thank you."
Isnt it beautiful !
Its even better when you get inside. It could be the spiral staircase with the plant growing up through it in the centre of the building. It could be its own Turkish Bathroom (Hamam), it could be the glass domed ceiling. What will you fall in love with?
Peace and Tranquility
The neighbouring bay of Gumusluk (Goo-moosh-look), is still a lively fishing port, with more than a dozen fish restaurants along the sea front, displaying a wide variety of locally caught seafood.
Once the ancient city of Myndos, the village is now in a conservation area, so no cars are allowed in the center. The westerly aspect of Gumusluk provides some spectacular sunsets, aperitif in hand listening to the evocative pop-pop sound of the single piston fishing boats chugging their way into the harbor is a pleasure not to be missed.
The Bodrum Peninsula has a wonderful bus (dolmus) service with regular buses serving all the different resorts. A car is therefore unnecessary. If you really want to explore though, it is easy to arrange car hire either in advance, via the Internet, or locally.
