Rauf Erol
The "fenerci" who looked after the lighthouses on the islands seen from the Gümüşlük shore. His light, which guided those searching for their way in the dark, gave the restaurant its name.
About us
A legend on the Gümüşlük shore
The Gümüşlük shore is remembered as much for its sunsets as for its seaside places to eat. One of the oldest among them is Fenerci, here since 1979.
A legacy facing Rabbit Island since 1979
Fenerci has been welcoming guests in Gümüşlük, Bodrum, since 1979. It sits in such a spot that you can walk across the King's Road to Rabbit Island, and while you touch the island's ancient stones, your order is being carefully prepared for you.
Because nothing here is ordinary. This is a place that collects not only the flavours of Gümüşlük, but its memories too.
Inspired by a lighthouse
A light unchanged for three generations
İbrahim Bey
Inspired by childhood memories that smelled of the sea, he founded Fenerci, one of the first fish restaurants on the peninsula.
Rauf Can Erol
Named after his grandfather, Rauf Can runs the restaurant today, carrying the light of the past into the future.
Respect for good food, hospitality made with sincerity and a deep sense of belonging to Gümüşlük. All of them signs of a stance as steady as a lighthouse.
Among the first fish restaurants on the Bodrum Peninsula
Here you are served not only fresh fish, but years of experience, kitchen discipline and a genuine food culture. Whether you choose steamed sea bass or fried calamari, every plate carries sincerity, simplicity and the spirit of the sea.
Our team guides you through your order, offers suggestions and helps you pair dishes. You are welcomed not as a guest, but as a friend.
Rabbit Island
From Kalidne to Rabbit Island, a neighbour of thousands of years
Known in antiquity as Kalidne and later as Asar Island, the island was home to the Leleges, one of the oldest peoples of Anatolia. A rock hollow is believed to bring healing, and legend has it that Artemisia kept rabbits here. With its freshwater spring and untouched nature, the island still has a mystical air today.
