Gocek lies in a wooded bay at the northern end of the gulf known as Skopea Limani. Over the years it has grown from a small waterfront town into a bustling charter base, but remains a charming place by blending its twin functions – catering for the farmers, vacationing charterers and other guests who congregate here in the summer months.

There are excellent facilities in Gocek making it a good place to stock up on provisions and creature comforts before setting sail on your Gocek yacht charter. You’ll find great souvenirs here too. The shorefront is an attractive esplanade filed with people and it's a popular 'see and be seen' early evening promenade spot. There are numerous trendy cafes and tavernas along this stretch too – ideal for settling in with a cold drink and some delicious meze while you enjoy the people-watching.

Later on, check out one of the fun late night bars to really get you into the vacation spirit.  Del Marinn by the fish pond at the base of the central jetty is a good option. Gocek itself doesn’t offer good beaches – the nearest are pebbly Gunluklu and sandy Katranci about 6 miles (10 km) east of town at Kucuk Kargi, but with plenty else going on – and the prospect of setting sail to explore the beautiful Lycian coastline – we don’t think that you’ll miss them. Sunsail’s base at Club Marina is set amidst landscaped gardens with excellent facilities. There is a complimentary ferry service running between the marina and Gocek town center.
