Gocek Private Yachts & Boats for Charter

When you think of a yacht cruise, one of the first places that come to mind is Gocek. With its stunning coves, turquoise sea and ancient history, Gocek offers a magnificent yacht charter experience. In this post, we will talk about Gocek in detail.

What is the History of Gocek?

Gocek is a region that fascinates its visitors with its history. Situated between Fethiye and Dalyan, it was an ancient Lycian town. Archeologists couldn’t locate the main settlement, and therefore no research has been done. Additionally, the absence of any resources relating to this region in the works of ancient artists also made Gocek’s history mysterious. During the Gocek yacht charter, visitors can see ancient rock tombs, monuments, and baths. Considering its location and geographical structure, some mythological events, especially the Legend of Icarus, are thought to have taken place here. To wrap it up, Gocek is an ideal location for a yacht vacation with its beautiful nature and ancient mysteries.

Coves of Gocek

Gocek is one of the locations where you can make the most out of yacht holidays with its many hidden coves and islands. With the Gocek yacht rental option, you can explore these coves that can only be reached by sea. We listed the delightful coves you should include in your route during your Gocek yacht rental!

Yassica Islands

Yassica Islands, consisting of 5 islands of different sizes, are one of the main spots in the Gocek route. Because some of these islands are very small, they were named Yassica Islands instead of being named separately. As there are no constructions and facilities on these islands, they preserved their nature to this day. The islands are located within swimming distance to each other. If you wish, you can take a short hike on the islands.

Bedri Rahmi Cove

In 1974, Bedir Rahmi Eyuboglu, a Turkish painter, writer, and poet, visited this cove and turned a large rock into a work of art by drawing a fish picture. After that, this cove became known as Bedri Rahmi Cove. This charming cove fascinates visitors with its olive trees, hidden rock tombs, and wooden dock. Gocek is an indispensable yacht charter route. You can spend the night here by dining in its cozy restaurants.

Cleopatra Cove

Cleopatra cove is a must-see location for the yacht vacationers in Gocek. Near the shoreline, you can see the ruins of a Byzantine church. You should also visit the ancient city of Lydae and take a trip to the past.

Tersane Island

The biggest island in Gocek, Tersane Island draws attention with its historical and natural significance. There are historical sites from the Ottoman Empire period. The island consists of two parts, the summer harbor, and the winter harbor. You can find ancient remains on the winter harbor. The residents of the winter harbor abandoned the island and emigrated to Greece during the population exchange as a result of the Treaty of Lausanne.

Boynuzbuku Cove

Boynuzbuku is one of the coves you should visit during your Gocek yacht cruise. Surrounded by pine trees, Boynuzbuku has only one restaurant. The restaurant has its own orchard nearby. You can dine here and then go on a hike.

Gobun Cove

Gobun Cove fascinates its visitors with its nature, history, and sea. Famous for its ruins at the seabed, you can witness breathtaking views by snorkeling in this charming cove. The remains of the sea belong to the late Byzantine period. Like all coves of Gocek, you can walk around in this lovely cove surrounded by olive and pine trees, cool off in turquoise waters, or relax in the restaurants on the beach. Gobun is perfect for you to enjoy your yacht holiday in the calmest way possible.

Killebuku

Killebuku is a natural beauty placed between Boynuzbuku and Bedri Rahmi Cove. Killebuku is a large cove covered with pine trees all over. There is a water source between the rocks on the shore. Just behind the beach, there are remains of an ancient church. We recommend you to see this historical ruin during your visit. Also, the cove is very suitable for surfing.

Ayten Cove

Ayten Cove is one of the few coves of Gocek that is reachable by both land and sea. There are no facilities on this cove, therefore, it managed to sustain its natural beauties. Its only difference from the other Gocek coves is its pebbly seabed.

Sarsala Cove

Undisturbed by the daily cruises, Sarsala is a quiet place. Since there are no facilities in the cove, it has managed to conserve its nature. There are only two facilities, a small cafeteria, and a beach volleyball court. We recommend you to cool off in the turquoise seas by adding this cove to your route.
