The journey from Dalaman airport to the Gulf of Göcek is consistently enjoyable. The road reveals the most breathtaking views from the forest-clad mountain range which stretches away as a dramatic backdrop to the plains, villages, coastal towns and beaches that abound in the area.

Together with the mountain ranges themselves Kadyandais just one of a number of historic sites in this, the heart of ancient Lycia where Kaunos, Tlos, Pinara, Letoon, Xanthos and Patara are particularly noteworthy destinations as are the fascinating ruins of Kayaköy, the old Greek settlement. Scenic resorts are also well worth exploring – including the market town of Fethiye,  the glorious beaches of the Peninsula, and the remarkable Dalyan Delta.

Only 15 minutes from Dalaman airport the road emerges from a new tunnel to the beautiful port of Göcek, with its new and splendid marina, where a multitude of seagoing vessels arrive in the evenings, from traditional fishing boats to yachts and huge motor launches.

Restaurants crowd the waterside, with cafés and bars providing the perfect spot to settle in and watch this gentle location, relaxed and unspoilt with the ambience of tradition. Göcek continues to cater for the independent traveller who needs quality in location and service. Göcek always has an eclectic mix of visitors of all nationalities from the yachts and boats in the harbour or the handful of boutique hotels and villas in the region. They are drawn to the harbourside streets where shops offer many products and restaurants many cuisines.

Many of the best beaches in Turkey are to be found on the wonderful unspoilt islands in the Gulf and Göcek is the gateway with water-taxis, gulet hire or lazy Island Cruises - others are easily accessible by car, taxi or the local dolmus bus services. Here are Olu Deniz, Sarigerme, Inlice and in the Dalyan delta the famous sandy beach of Iztuzu.

In the nearby mountains, to name one example, lies the rural village Gokceovacik - nearby in distance to Göcek but a world away in atmosphere with mountain air and local cuisine fuelling treks past olive groves, through forests and along mountain paths. The fields are full of herbs for which the region is also renowned and life continues as it has for centuries.

The properties available in this region offer relaxation in beautiful surroundings with Göcek’s easily accessible harbour. These properties nestle in the natural beauty of this wondrous region so that you can share it in a way that few are able to experience.
