Hi I'm flying to Izmir airport and need to get to Gumbet. Does anyone know if it's easier to get a bus to Bodrum them Gumbet or where you actually get the bus when you land? What time the buses are at? My return flight is about 3.30am so will buses be on then? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
There are transfers that one can arrange from Izmir airport to Gumbet - the journey time is about 3-1/2 hours and costs somewhere in the region of £50.
As for buses - if you can get yourself into Izmir proper, then you will be able to get a bus from there to Bodrum. Sorry, don't know the schedule. From Bodrum there are dolmus that run from there to Gumbet. I should imagine that there are also dolmus that run from Izmir town to Bodrum but really cannot help you there.
Thanks for info, I did look into transfers but cheapest price I have got is £100 per person one way! Which is £400 for 2 of us, which is just too expensive.
http://www.propercar.com/bodrum-airport-transfer.htm gives a price of £100 per car, not per person. I think it is to Bodrum but the dolmus is pennies from there to Gumbet.
I gather you are flying independent of a tour operator? Otherwise I would have thought they would be flogging a transfer.
We went to Izmir thinking it would be a good base to explore nearby Ephesus and the rest of the region. That was a mistake. It is just a big city with no real local charm. It is extremely difficult to get around without knowing Turkish or taking taxis which will rip you off. I would recommend you stay at a surrounding town like Selcuk rather then visiting Izmir.
Cut - Belly Eggplants --KARNIYARIK
Ingredients Measure Amount
Eggplants 6 medium 1 kg.
Oil (for frying) ¼ cup 50 gr.
Onion 3 large 250 gr.
Minced Meat ½ cup 250 gr.
Tomatoes 4 small 400 gr.
Green Peppers 3 medium 50 gr.
Garlic 5 cloves 15 gr.
Parsley 2/3 bunch 40 gr.
Salt 2 desert spoon 12 gr.
Black Pepper ½ desert spoon 1 gr.
Hot water 1 cup 200 gr.
Servings: 6
Preperation
Wash the vegetables, cut off the stalks of the eggplants and peel them in ribbon fashion. Warm the oil in a non-stick pan, put in the eggplants and cover. Turn the eggplants occasionally and cook for about 15 minutes to soften them. Arrange them on an oven tray and cut their bellies taking care not to split the ends and make hollows with the back of a spoon. Peel the onions, wash and chop finely. Place the onions and the minced meat into the pan where you have softened the egg plants and stir, cover and let them to simmer on low heat for about 8 - 10 minutes, until the meat juices are reduced, stirring occasionally. Set aside one tomato and two peppers. Chop the rest into very small pieces and add to the minced meat mixture and cook for another 5 minutes. Peel the garlic and separate the parsley leaves. Finely chop the garlic and the parsley and add to the hot mix. Add salt and pepper and stir. Fill the hollows made in the eggplants with this mixture. Cut the spared tomato into six circular slices and cut the green peppers length-wise into three slices. Place these on the eggplants. Add the water slowly from the edges of the dish. Bake it covered for 20 minutes at medium heat, and remove the lid and bake for another 10 - 15 minutes. This is a dish cooked quite often particularly during the summer months in all regions. It is served at either lunch or diner as the main dish. Rice is the appropriate second dish. When an oven is not available it can be cooked on the range, with the lid on.
Try to see every corner of Ephesus if it is possible for you. Every year i found a different and bigger Ephesus. Our arhaeologists are still digging somewhere. Curet Street, ancient shops, monuments, celsus(kelsou) library, baths are only a few places for feeling its ancient Greek and Roman past.
The countryside around Izmir is lush and green - rolling hills sprout a profusion of olive trees. On pretty afternoons, families of all sizes can be seen picnicking beneath the trees. This scene is approaching the village of Sirince, not far from Selcuk.
