A charming village located on the southwestern coast of Turkey and part of the Mugla province, Gocek is one of the most frequented holiday destinations by both domestic and foreign tourists with its flawless nature and peaceful atmosphere.

Gocek, as being a gateway to the South Aegean coastline and the Mediterranean, allows vacationers to witness myriads of natural, historical and cultural beauties on different routes.

There are various assumptions about the origin of the name of Gocek, which was previously known as “Daidala”. The most well-known of these is about migration. In old times, the inhabitants were used to immigrate to the highlands in spring, and to the village back in autumn. Every detail was being planned ahead until the day of migration and on that day, those who migrate were calling each other by saying “let’s migrate!” or "Gocek" in Turkish. It is believed that the village had taken its name from this tradition.

Gocek hosted many civilizations throughout history and is home to ruins and rock tombs particularly from the Lycian period. Observing underwater Byzantine ruins by diving in Gobun Bay - the most sheltered of Gocek bays – and visiting ancient and recent historical remains on Tersane Island are among the most preferred activities in this region.
