Göcek is a small town in the Fethiye district in Muğla Province, Turkey. It was named “Kalimche” in ancient times, and is located between Fethiye which was Telmessos in ancient times – and Dalyan called Kaunos in ancient times.
According to the legends, Icarus landed in the sea in the Göcek area after his famous flight trying to escape from where he was imprisoned. Göcek was used as a harbor for shipping chrome ore collected from the mines in the mountains in the area during the Ottoman period. Today, Göcek has six significant marinas that serve the yachters coming to the region.
They are: Club Marina, Skopea Marina, Municipality Marinas, Marinturk Göcek Village Port, Marinturk Göcek Exclusive and Port Göcek Marina.
