Gocek

With a large natural harbour Gocek has grown up to cater to the needs of yachtsmen. One of the pleasures of a visit here is a stroll around the Marina to admire the array of boats of all shapes and sizes moored here. The waterfront is lined with bars and restaurants. Inland life revolves around the pretty market square which is lined with little shops selling antiques and crafts as well as the more usual carpets.

Göcek is a quiter harbour resort and for many years now it has been a favourite spot for the rich and famous.Situated in an enclosed valley and backed by steep pine clad mountains,Gocek
is a former mining and fishing village and if its peace and tranquility you are looking for then Göcek is for you. It is a very picturesque resort with a mountain backdrop and is still relatively unspoilt.It is a centre for marine sailing holidays and the physical limitations of Gocek's situation have retained the village's tranquil and rural atmosphere,but still providing all the facilities to support the growing number of visiting and residential yachts and land based tourists.

The main Dalaman/Fethyie road runs through Göcek where you will find grocery stores to cater for your basic needs or Fethiye is only 20 minutes away if you want to go on a shopping spree. Sunday brings colourful traders and farmers from the hinterland for the once weekly market, a noisy and bustling time in the sleepy hollow behind the village.

There are a few bars located on the harbour making it an ideal place to go to have a quiet drink in peaceful and panoramic surroundings.It is a nice place to visit if you want a couple of quiet hours to yourself.
