Yacht charter Gocek

A yacht charter Gocek is highly recommended especially in low season, spring and autumn. Located at the end of the Taurus Mountains and on the Lycian coast, the small town offers several marinas. The village in the north of the bay of Fethiye is surrounded by mountains, bays and islands. There are twelve of them in the vicinity. On the largest island, Tersane, there are still a few ruins from Byzantine times and a few farmhouses. Olive and pine trees grow on the two Yassica islands and they are surrounded by flat long sandy beaches. But you can also head for a whole series of secluded bays: For example, Bedri Rahmi Bay named after the poet Bedri Rahmi Eyüpoglu, Gobun Bay sheltered and lined with crystal clear water, or the largest bay, Cleopatra Bay, which has ruins in the shallow sea in addition to beautiful pine trees.

Between Turkish Riviera and Lycian Coast on a Gocek yacht charter

Gocek is a town with only a few thousand inhabitants. It therefore offers an alternative starting point to the larger town of Fethiye on the other side of the bay for those looking for peace and tranquility. Dalaman airport is just over 20 kilometers away.
From here you are spoilt for choice: to the west lies the Turkish Riviera with popular towns such as Marmaris, Bodrum or the Datca Peninsula. To the east is the beautiful Lycian coast, where things are a bit quieter and with its fine sandy beaches and turquoise blue water, you can almost feel like you're in the South Seas. And to the south, the island of Rhodes is not far away.
In the immediate vicinity is the city of Fethiye, which has over 68,000 inhabitants. It houses remains of the Lycian culture in its archaeological museum. Araxa is about 40 km away from Fethiye and offers the opportunity to admire parts of the city walls, Lycian rock tombs as well as remains of the Turkish baths and canals from Byzantine times. In Telmessos, once the largest city in Lycia, there is also a 2nd century theater built in the Roman style that used to seat 5000 people. A highlight, however, is a visit to the Butterfly Valley. Dock your sailing yacht at the site and admire the multitude of butterflies that reside in the gorge surrounded by hills.
Alternatively, you can depart from the larger town of Fethiye, which lies to the west of the bay. For more ideas, you can also check out our Turkey country page.
