Gundogan is situated at only a few minutes drive in the west of Yalikavak. It is quite and peacefull place which is still more or less unspoiled despite the holiday developments on the surrounding hills. Since the north of the Bodrum peninsula has often a fresh breeze, Many surfers prefer Gundogan Area.

Gondogan, ancient Farilya, has been always an important town for fishing, sponge diving, olive and tangerine growing. Unfortunately, some of those activities stopped in the recent years.

Main body of the town is situated inland on the major highway running between Yalikavak and Golturkbuku. Caves, Wind mills, Cisterns, Rock Cut Monasteries bear witness to great past of Gundogan.
