Gocek is a small community that is nestled in a large bay brimming with islands and coves. Far from mega-resorts like Hisaronu, it remains quaint and largely unspoilt by mass-tourism, owing to its protected status, and the ban there is on building multi-storey buildings in the area, which gives it an upmarket feel. The six marinas also add to this sense - Gocek is hugely popular with yacht tourists, who dock in the natural harbour every summer. With great beaches, surrounded by pine-bearded mountains, boasting its own weekly Sunday market and providing amazing access to ancient cities like Xanthos, Gocek is a great place to get away from it all on a romantic break. Our collection of the best places to stay in Gocek includes a hotel with its own private beach!
