Göcek
Spend 1–2 days in Göcek for boat trips among the Twelve Islands and a quick town walk; add a day for a nearby Fethiye or Dalyan visit.
Göcek is a tiny resort on the Lycian coast, best known for its marina and boat trips to dozens of coves and islands. The town itself is walkable; most attractions are reached by short dolmuş rides or boat. One night covers the main sights, a second adds a day‑trip to Fethiye or Dalyan.

Rules in force · 5
- Türkiye (Turkey) ↗Check whether your passport is visa-exempt; if it is not, apply only at evisa.gov.tr — lookalike sites charge extra and some sell nothing.

- Türkiye (Turkey) ↗Taxis must run the taximeter; refuse flat quotes, or book through BiTaksi or Uber so the ride is logged.
- Türkiye (Turkey) ↗Carry lira in small notes for tea, markets, tips and toilets; prices move with inflation, so treat every printed price as dated.
- Türkiye (Turkey) ↗Do not take stones, coins or tiles from ancient sites, and export no antiques without a museum certificate; travellers have been detained at airport customs.
