Göcek
A quiet sailing village and the gateway to the Twelve Islands.
Göcek is a small village at the head of a bay scattered with pine-covered islands, and one of the main yachting centres of the Turkish coast. Its marinas are full of gulets and sailing boats; its streets stay calm.
We use Göcek as a base for private boat days and gulet cruises, and for travellers who want the sea without resort crowds — Dalaman Airport is only minutes away.

Göcek: common questions
Is Göcek good for a gulet cruise?
Yes, it is one of the best starting points: the bay is sheltered and the islands are close.
Is there nightlife in Göcek?
Very little. Göcek is known for calm marinas and dinners by the water.
