Gulf of Fethiye - Lycian Holiday

The Gulf of Fethiye is surrounded by lower slopes of the Taurus Mountains, pine clad to the water's edge, and its crystal-clear water invites swimmers and snorkelers.

Please ask for private cruise or cabin carter.

The Port Gocek Marina is the scenic ultimate in yacht marinas and the place the TGE calls home. It is situated up against pined slopes of a national forest in the NW corner of the Gulf of Fethiye. Both the marina and Gocek Town are thirty minutes from Dalaman International Airport.

Gocek Town itself has a unique charm as an emerging tourist destination and yacht haven. From Gocek we take guests by car to ancient Tlos and Saklikent, or to ancient Cadyanda, and from there up into the foothills of the Taurus Mountains to lunch on fresh trout. In Gocek Town, and because we make our home here, we are able to introduce guests to reputable carpet, craft-art, and other merchants.

Two miles from Gemiler, Olu Deniz (meaning Dead Sea) is the most photographed and picture-postcarded of any beach in the Eastern Mediterranean. Photos are best taken during a 30-minute paraglide down from Baba Dag (Father Mountain).

The lagoon at Olu Deniz in 67 BC harbored the Roman galleys of Pompey the Great, there to eject Lycian pirates from Gemiler. The nearby ghost-town of Kaya was emptied by the Turkish-Greek population swap of 1923.
