Although Kucukbuk itself has a couple of local restaurants and shops, Gundogan is well worth a visit if only for the Wednesday market. Approximately 2 miles away it can be reached on foot along the coastal road or by the local dolmus service which runs every hour via Gundogan and on to Bodrum.
Gundogan was known as Farilya in ancient times and in 1995 ancient copper age tools and pottery were found in a local cave confirming it's ancient beginnings. Today the village starts at the beach and runs alongside both sides of the main road to Yalicavak. Flanked by olive and orange groves on the hills behind, the village has an abundance of small restaurants and cafes along the sea front with relaxing cushions, pontoons and shade to while away the afternoon.
Gundogan is an old fishing and sponge diving port and the local harbour still houses many traditional working fishing boats which bring back a host of seafood for the local restaurants. The most common local fish is bass (levrek) or bream (cipura) although red mullet (barbun), swordfish (kılıc), octopus (ahtapot), prawns (karides) and squid (kalamar) are all caught locally.
The horseshoe bay, long sandy beach and afternoon seabreezes make this a great location for swimming, wakeboarding, windsurfing, sailing or just relaxing.
