4. Waterbottle and Watercooler

towards the Migros and then through approximately 300m and you're at the otogar where the
dolmus buses depart. The buses run on schedule and are a cheap means of transport. To Bodrum
dolmus is TL 5 per person. Taxi TL 60
Market
Every Wednesday there is a market in Gundogan.
Park, past the mosque and down the mountain to the left. After about 350m turn right and walk
straight to the market. Can not miss. Handy shopping bag to take along on wheels fruits and
vegetables are good to buy on the market. Clothing (fake labels) in itself but also in Bodrum is much
more extensive with a separate textile market next to Bodrum dolmus station.
Swimming pool
The pool is of type float about . This means that a pump pumps water from an underground tank (
where approximately 2000 liters in it ) in the pool. Through the overflow gutters underground tank
water runs back ( balance tank ) in . In addition, the water is filtered through a filter in the technical
area where the pump. If the pool pump runs off the balance tank full and the water level in the pool
drops to about 5 cm below the rim . You can swim when the pump is turned on but the pump is not
running.
If the pump blows air bubbles in the pool , the pump must be switched off immediately . The reason
is that there is too little water in the tank is balanced so that the air is sucked by the pump. The pump
is then fixed and breaks down. After shutdown, wait an hour ( the balance tank is automatically
refilled with tap water ) and turn the pump back on. If there are still bubbles are pumped , please
contact Park Manager.
The technical scope and balance tank
located under the big brown lounger .
The pool pump is switched by a timer in the
gray box with the on / off switch ( 0 / 1 ) . In
principle needs to be or the time of the
timer in the gray box is similar to the real
time clock . Checked only The gray box can
be opened with a screwdriver ( or bit ) . If
the switch is put 0 on the gray box also
allows the timer , so in addition to the pump is off, the timer must be put back on the clock .
2x a week of pool cleaning . This means that there are then ' vacuum ' is and chemical ( chlorine ) is
checked and replenished .
6. Also on the park is a large communal pool with sun beds , parasols and a children's pool . For this,
you walk towards the exit park and go right onto the mountain ( right after the house where you look
from our garden ) . Up and running after 4 houses you can find links leading to pool .
Water Installation
The water in Turkey is salty and contains a lot
of calcium . This leaves the dishwasher
including a lime film on the dishes and the
washing machine and water heater are there
to suffer.
Requires a descaling system installed . The
fully automatic function. Every time this
installation (overnight ) throws the excess
water through the drain out, this is a kind of
Ducting / grinding noise . Maintenance of the
system : ( 1 ) to clean the filter week . Simply
plug the water supply and the water drain off
( the blue one quarter turn valves ) ; just turn
the faucet on the sink in the kitchen is open
(this is the pressure of the filter and is easy to
open) ; tighten the filter ( can be hand or else
the black bracket upon ) and tap it empty / clean it . ( 2 ) checking amount of salt in tank . So, remove
the black cap and open the gray plastic cover. If you look in the water , the salt grains (size
dishwasher tablet) is good . Otherwise, there must be refilled. This does Murat ( tel +90 531 8625450

Tips & Tricks.
There is a book what and how in Turkish (Dutch speakers only). Google Translate is also very
convenient way. Most (young) people speak (some) English, but the majority of the local population
in Gundogan not. In Bodrum many people speak English very well.
Buy Tobacco at the airport when you go back to the Netherlands. Cigarettes etc are cheap at the
duty-free from Bodrum International Airport.
To do:
1 . Visit the Bodrum harbor ( Marina ) and look out for the amazing yachts . Also nice place to
eat / drink .
2 . Boat trip through various bays around Gundogan . There are several skippers who offer
ranging from private boat trip to joint boat trip . With about 20 men can use the boat captain
7. Haci . With 20 men you lost some TL
750 for a private tour of 10 - 18h ,
including ( simple: pasta with kofte )
food. Drinking is charged separately .
Do you go with a different people
than relying on some TL 40-50 per
person ( drinks ex ) .
3 . Aquapark in Ortakent ( on the road
from Gundogan from Bodrum to
Bodrum ) . A large water paradise
with several large slides.
4 Water : Gundogan sit along the beach several providers of surfing , water skiing, sailing ,
etc. If desired, I can also put you in touch with landlords of larger ( 15m + ) sailing yachts .
5 Shopping malls in Bodrum with many ( real! ) clothes and other things : Oasis ( Bodrum )
and Midtown ( Konacik - Ortakent ) .
6 Hammam : . Inquire via Park Manager for the possibilities!
7 For the gentlemen . Shave by a Turkish barber is an experience and not expensive ( TL 10 ) .
Road running along the mosque and then right after about 30m left is a Turkish barber . The
decor is very basic but the experience is fun ( I never take myself shaving stuff to Turkey ! ) .
The ladies , for example at the hairdressers across the Tansas right . Many hairdressers also
offer mani and / or pedicure .
