Gocek Holidays

An elegant Turkish hotspot

Gocek’s yacht-filled marinas might be a magnet for sailors the world over, but you don’t need to own a boat to enjoy these scenic surroundings. Perch at one of the many upscale waterfront restaurants and you’re guaranteed gorgeous views wherever you look. With beautiful bays in front and pine-covered mountains stretched out behind, it’s easy to see why Gocek holidays appeal to discerning nature lovers.

Thanks to restrictions on multi-storey buildings, this tranquil town retains an air of exclusivity, with smart bars linked by winding, palm-tree lined pathways. There are also plenty of historic sites to explore inland – if you can drag yourself away from the water, that is. There are so many gorgeous, secluded bays to drop anchor in that you could easily spend your whole trip snorkelling, swimming or simply cruising on a boat tour. It’s no wonder that holidays to Gocek in Turkey are making waves.

Your Gocek questions, answered

Can I sunbathe?

The best way to bag a few rays is to bask on deck during a boat tour. Alternatively, Inlice Beach is about 10 minutes’ drive from Gocek.

What is the regatta?

An annual boat race that brings a layer of excitement to this otherwise placid town. ‘Yachtie’ or not, you can’t help but get caught up in the atmosphere.

Where can I eat out?

While there are plenty of luxurious restaurants to choose from at the water’s edge, walk a little further from the marinas and you’ll find masses of more low-key eateries.
