Turkey is a fascinating blend of the ancient and the modern, surrounded by the water on the three sides with a coastline some 8,000 km. in length. The Southwest corner of this coastline is easily one of the most beautiful in the world. Some suggested routes are giving at the end of page. Gocek is a small village in an idyllic setting, in the corner of a well protected bay with pine covered hills on the three sides. When you charter a yacht from Gocek one can truly say " the holiday begins as you leave Dalaman airport for the 20 minute drive to Gocek". You travel through some of the most picturesque scenery in Turkey.
Our yachts are in Gocek marina with all facilities on hand including toilets, shower, water and ice. Well stocked food and other shops are very close and shopkeepers willingly deliver provisions to your yacht free of charge. On arrival you will be met by Blues Team who will show you, your yacht so you can settle in before going out for your first taste of delicious Turkish mezes (hors d'oeuvres), kebabs, kofte in Blue Restoran & Bar. For many, this will be the first experience of Turkey and you cannot fail to be impressed by the friendliness and helpfulness of the local people and the sheer beauty of the scenery.
A cruise back into history - eastwards from Kekova, there are relatively few anchorages but the backdrop of magnificent mountains, the legendary Chimarea, shades of Nelson, ancient Phaselis and the Fishermans' Harbour in Antalya. A contrast of the old and the new.
From Gocek, the bay of Fethiye with its many beautiful anchorages is ideal for those wanting a gentle start to their holiday. Going East from Karacaoren or Gemiler Bay lies Kalkan and Kas. Sailing on to Kekova Islands, where you can climb up to Crusader Castle in Kale and look out over fertile valleys and breathtaking sarcophagae. You can swim over the underwater city and make a river approach to Myra and learn of the origin of St Nicholas.
