Gocek is a great place to vacation in Turkey with beautiful marinas and scenery.
Gocek, known in the past as “Kalimche”, is located between Dalaman and Fethiye, just 20 minutes drive from Dalaman Airport. It has a glamorous allure for poets and artists, the rich and famous who have fallen in love with it over the years.
The magnificent bays and 12 islands surrounding Gocek, its crystal clear waters, beautiful beaches and pine forests make you feel in the middle of a visual feast. It is a unique coastal town that has never lost its natural beauty with its nature and boutique hotels, as no multi-storey buildings are allowed after it was declared a special protection area in 1988. The tree cover upon the hills makes the view of a yacht on the sea spectacular.
Historical and touristic sites such as Fethiye Museum, Pinara, Tlos Letoon, Xanthos, Telmessos and Patara are also within driving distance.
The only beach on the coastline in Gocek (as it is usually reserved for boats) is at the end of D-marin. However, you can easily reach Inlice beach in 10 minutes by car and all the beaches in Fethiye within a short drive.
The service standards are very high with restaurants along the coast, a small bazaar with festival-like boutiques and enough supermarkets for shopping. It hosts sailors from many countries of the world with yacht races organized every year. With modern facilities and great areas to explore, Gocek is a stylish destination for a vacation.
Gocek’s modern marinas such as Club Marina, Marinturk Gocek Village, Port Municipality Marinas, D-Marin Gocek, Marinturk Gocek Exclusive and Skopea Marina, as well as unspoiled bays of natural beauty such as Tersane Island, Red Island, Flat Island, Gocek Island, Rabbit Island, Tersane Island, Cennet Bay, Aquarium Bay and Cleopatra’s Bath, and its magnificent scenery have made it a popular choice among yachtsmen and visitors alike. Scattered like jewels in the sea, these emerald islands are covered with forests and the scent of pine trees. Exploring the caves, relaxing on hidden beaches and snorkeling in the warm waters is the perfect choice for you.
While on your boat in and around Gocek, you can visit the nearby town of Fethiye. You can spend a morning drinking real Turkish coffee in one of the cafes here, find fresh fish for lunch or dinner at the famous fish market, or if you like hiking, you can spend the whole day walking around the town on the many trails you can find.
If you are interested in a fully crewed private yacht vacation in crystal clear Turkish waters, Göcek is the ideal destination for you.
