After breakfast, we arrive at the bay named after the painter and poet Bedri Rahmi, one of the important figures of the Blue Voyage culture. The bay whose real name is Tasyaka; became known as Bedri Rahmi Bay after Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu, a blue cruise enthusiast, poet and painter, visited this place in 1974 and carved his famous fish-shaped work on a rock. The two most important elements that make this bay special are this famous fish depiction engraved on a rock, the story of which everyone has heard at least once, and the Ancient Lycian King Tombs located on the slopes of Sandal Hill in the north of the bay.
Then it anchors in Sarsala Bay. Sarsala pier was built for grain shipment from Dalaman and Ortaca plains to Egypt. The ruins of the old pier and customs building can be observed.

A sailing paradise in the Gulf of Fethiye... Göcek is the starting and ending point of Blue Cruises, and as such features heavy yacht traffic. A coastal jewel, it is a calm and safe harbor due to its closed gulf, making it suitable for long-distance travelers coming from foreign seas. Thanks to its deep blue sea, green pine forests, lovely beaches, and bays and islands - each of which is a hidden paradise in its own right - it’s no wonder the region is among the most popular destinations for sailboats and yachts.
Göcek is a quiet and sheltered port thanks to its unique geography. Göcek has everything that sunseekers and sea enthusiasts could ever wish for thanks to its numerous natural bays, islands both large and small and, of course, the world-famous Turquoise Sea. Göcek has always been the perfect haven for boats and yachts of all shapes and sizes. The bay is well known in the marina industry and has six world-class marinas. Four of türkiye's most luxurious marinas are located on the central bay of Göcek and two are in Göcek Büngüş Bay.
It’s possible to visit the unforgettable bays of Göcek by boat departing out of those marinas or the port in the original town. You can take public boat tours or rent your own boat and spend as much time as you want in any bay. Some agencies also offer Sea Kayaking and Stand Up Paddle Board tours.
The best-known bays in the vicinity are Osman Ağa Bay, Boynuz Bükü Bay, Sarsala Bay, Domuz Island, Yavan Su Bay (Martı Bay), and Göbün Bay, the most sheltered local bay. The sunken ruins in the bay known as Cleaopatra’s Baths are near Göcek and a small pathway extending from the coast to the hills offers an unforgettable hiking experience toward the evening.
