hello there!

was wondering if anyone has any information they could give me about gumbet. i am going with three other girls on the 27th july and we dont really know anything about it.

what is the nightlife like?

any information will be much appreciated.


thank youu

Hey!! I hope you have an amazing time!! Its what you make of it really! You can have all the family bars, karaoke etc, and then there's bar street...Its bouncing! Beach front, with all the different shows
Depends what you are after!
Where are you staying?
xx

we are staying at eskicesme hotel with 18-30. dont really know where it is or what it is like lol.

hopefully it will be ok. really looking forward to it.

we went to malia for two weeks last yr, we loved that but with the euro being like it is we have chose turkey. hopefully it will be good, probley not as lively as malia but like u say holidays in general are what u make of them!


we want a good nightlife but where we can just chill out in the day

You can deffinitely chill out in the day, and there's great nightlife, so Im sure you wont be dissappointed!! Are you a bunch of girls/boys or mixed??
You shall have to venture into Bodrum for a night out if you can 18-30 probably organises a bar crawl anyway! Haven't heard of the hotel where you are staying, but judging by other 18-30 hotels in Gumbet, they're not too far out of the way, but they are far enough so that you can get a decent nights sleep (If you want!) Not right on all the action should I say.
I have a funny feeling that its only around the corner from where we are staying in September (Dost Apartments) and it takes us about 5 minutes to walk to where the action is

that sounds good then!

4 girls going, so should be a laugh.

thanks for all your information. really appreciate it.

have you been before then? sounds like you have,

if you have, what bars would you advise?

No problem! Anything you want to know, I'll try to help, although Im sure there are loads of people on here who know a lot more than me

I've been going to Gumbet since 2007, and have been going to Turkey itself for the last ten years. I've lived over there for twice, 6 months each time, and was living in between Gumbet and Altinkum last year Had the time of my life!!
4 Girls? Watch out Gumbet! You are going to have a fab time! You'll probably notice a bit of a difference between Malia and Turkey to be honest, but you will still enjoy!!
I myself love Atlantis and Molly Malones, which are down the end of where my hotel is..They are before Burger King, heading away from Bar Street...
The other end, where the Greenhouse apart/hotel is, I love the Corner Bar...Its the only one I really go in up there, but have been to Smilies, and Chico's which are also good bars!! There's Outback at the top of Bar Street which is an Indie Bar, and its great in there - lots of reviews on the site about it, and there's a facebook group you can join! The lads in there are great....Tell them Sambuca says hi!!
Then, on Bar Street you've got all the "Disco Bars" My favourites are Central <3 and Shakers Bar, but there are a fair few there - Not forgetting Karaoke Kabin for a bit of drunken warbling!! Lol...And to end the night a lot of People head down to "Heartbeat" formerly Escape...And the latest we've left there is like 8:00am...It tends to close when it starts to get empty, weekends are really good, coz there's always loads of people out!! Hmmm...What else?
What kind of bars do you girls like? Do you like to go out and eat? There's a cheap place up by the hotel where I stay and its a Turkish restraunt on the corner of the road...Great if u wanna keep more money for alcohol - I cannot remember the name of it, but it was called Coco's Bar last year... We also go to Mandarin, which is a chinese/indian/mexican place just down further from the Corner Bar, and also the various kebab shops along the roads -which are yummy!! If u find yourself in Bodrum, go try Le Roka, our friend is the Chef there and the food is top notch, and good value for your money - Its right on the seafront, with gorgeous views over Bodrum Bay and you can see the Halikarnas and Catamaran disco from there!
Ive garbled on for a bit now, so I'll let you digest the information....Lol

King Arthur and the "roots of troubles"

The traditional treatment of women in the Arthurian saga is interesting to note in its severity. Guinevere is an adulteress, Morgan Le Fay is a witch, Morgause is an incestuous schemer, and the Lady of the Lake is the leader of a terrible, backward pagan religion. This is, of course, the treatment that has been handed down to us from the medieval writers who gave us the Christian infusion that spawned the story of the Holy Grail. ffxi gil

　　But if we go back to the historical writers——the writers who were treating Arthur as a historical character, not a target for pious retribution or moral sermonizing; we find that women do, more or less, have quite an important role to play in the overall health and well-being of Arthur the King.

　　Inherent in this last statement is this feature of earlier stories: Arthur's story did not end badly. In the earliest of stories about Arthur the King, he wasn't even the Once and Future King. He was a great warrior and won many great victories. He was a great king who had a great queen, and they both ruled a great kingdom.

　　 maple story mesos,Arthur's queen didn't even have a name in the earliest of stories. She was simply the queen. But she didn't, as so many modern stories tell us, have a part in the downfall of the kingdom. Even Geoffrey of Monmouth, in the happier parts of his story, has Arthur and Ganhumara (his name for the queen) holding court in a great castle in a great city called the City of the Legions. (Geoffrey later gives Guinevere a bad name, but she is all that glitters when the story opens.)

　　Also showered with the light of good in earlier stories is Morgan Le Fay. In the earliest of the Cornwall stories, Morgan is the Queen of Lyonesse, where Arthur is taken after his final battle. Morgan is the leader of a group of healers, all women, who will undoubtedly heal Arthur. It is perhaps out of this part of the story that William of Malmesbury crafted his vision that Arthur would come again. (William, you will remember, is the first one to mention that Arthur's grave has not been found; even though he says nothing more, he gives a strong hint that the Once and Future King part of the legend has begun.) wow gold

　　The Lady of the Lake as well fares rather better in the older stories. She it was who gave Arthur his first sword. She it is who is guardian of the old ways, the ways from which comes much of the magic of the original Arthurian stories. The Christian writers wanted to make Arthur a Christian king, and they didn't want any other religions getting in the way of this. Naturally, they made the Lady of the Lake a questionable character solely because of her "religious" ways.

　　The question then becomes one of why. Why do the women come off so bad in medieval stories? What happened to make the writers change their image of people who were so vital to the story? The answer probably lies in the spiritual realm and its resulting scriptures. The same writers who were reading the Bible and discovering that Eve was responsible for all the world's problems probably thought that they should blame Guinevere for all of Arthur's problems. Why did Arthur have a bastard son in the first place? wow gold, Because the scheming Morgause tricked him into it. Why did Morgan Le Fay hate Arthur so? Because she was jealous of the magic wielded by Merlin, Arthur's advisor. Why was the Lady of the Lake suddenly to be reviled, not revered? Because she was the head of a religion that medieval writers didn't understand or want to understand. The teachings of the Bible were such that one religion was possible (in the minds of these writers); anything else was unacceptable. (It must be said here that Arthur, Lancelot, and all the rest of the male characters take quite a beating at the hands of the medievalists as well. The whole story becomes a morality play from which only Galahad, the purse and chaste, emerges unscathed. Arthur and Lancelot, the perfect king and the perfect knight, are undone by their shared imperfect morality.)

　　ffxi gil, The result is that in the modern tales, women are still pretty much blamed for Arthur's troubles. Arthur's dallying with Morgause has come to be seen as something akin to the Adam and Eve story. Lancelot's love for the queen has come to be seen as equal in its devastation to the queen's own adulterous actions (that is to say, it's the woman's fault). Morgan Le Fay is reviled as a witch who wants nothing more than to ruin the kingdom of the wonderful Arthur. And the Lady of the Lake recedes ever further into the background. (Some traditions hold that she is Nimue, whose claim to "fame" is that she enchants Merlin into submission and takes him from Arthur when Arthur needs him most.)

　　If you want to role-play in Arthur's world, you'd better choose a male character. At least people will feel sorry for you. aion gold
