Gocek Bays and Beaches
As you can see from the Göcek Bays map, there is 1 bay for every 10 people in Göcek. 🙂 Göcek has a great place in terms of bays and beaches.. Every place of Allah is beautiful, but he has given it here in terms of beauty.. With its natural beauty, untouched bays and turquoise sea, Göcek is among the most preferred routes for blue cruise lovers.
The 12 Island Boat Tour is very famous in this region.. Anyway, let’s not go further and move on to our Gocek Bays and Beaches list.. Our first destination is Blue Point Beach, which is very close to Göcek Center.

The road here is stony for the last 1 km, so it’s better to come carefully..
Ayten Bay is a very nice place for camping. Although the facilities are limited, there are areas where you can set up your tent if you come with a supply.. We did not detect any problems in terms of security.. There may be a shortage of space in high season.. Thanks to those who come here, the wooded area is unfortunately not very clean because they are insensitive to garbage 🙁 There is no entrance fee.

It was probably not too crowded due to the effect of the pandemic period.. Here, too, trees form natural canopy.. The sea temperature of Osman Ağa Bay was very good.. The beach was stony.

Cleopatra Bath Bay
The most beautiful boat in our Gocek boat tour and this was one of the most crowded bays in terms of boats.. It is truly a legendary place.. Nature and history intertwined. The reason why it is called Cleopatra Bay is because it is believed that Cleopatra, the last Hellenistic queen of Ancient Egypt, visited here.
According to the legend; When Cleopatra came here, she had a bath built for bathing.. In fact, the cove was once called Hamam Cove because of the ruins of these baths.. It is believed that the hot water spring coming out of the ruins of the bath is the source of Cleopatra’s beauty and this water is good for skin diseases..
NOTE: snorkeling is absolutely essential to enjoy ruined coves like this one.
Kille Bay
Kille Bay is one of the untouched bays in Göcek. There is a road access here, but the road is quite bad. I guess the reason why he stays a virgin is because his road is bad.. No facility vs..
Kille Bay is completely covered with pine trees.. If you are coming to Kille Bay, a popular spot for boaters and yachtsmen, by land, do not forget to come prepared for food and drink.

The biggest island of Göcek, Tersane Island, got its name because it was used as a shipyard during the Ottoman period.. Of course, there is no trace of the shipyard at the moment, but there are ruins.
