Itinerary: Fethiye – Hafen Aga -Göcek - Kaunos - Ekincik - Fethiye
FETHIYE The little town of Fethiye, on the eastern shore of the gulf to which it gives its name, was once the Lycian city of Telmessus whose history can be traced at least as far back as the fifth century B.C.. There are strong indications, however, that the Lycians were the Lukka people referred to in Hittite records as early as the 14th century B.C.. Wars and invasions - especially Arab raids from which the city never quite recovered - and earthquakes of more recent times have left little for us to see of this ancient civilization except the imposing Lycian tombs carved into solid rock. Today Fethiye is a small town with a character that is more Anatolian than most other coastal towns, but tourism is slowly changing the scene.
GOCEK, located at the north extremity of the Gulf of Fethiye, is a popular yachting center due to the proximity of the international airport in Dalaman, Gocek's three marinas, the variety of provisioning its shops offer and the numerous restaurants - not to mention the wonderful waters and shoreline of the gulf - still makes it a preferred anchorage when cruising in the region. There are no significant historical sites nearby, but the natural beauty of the many anchorages all around, including the lovely scattering of islands, is breathtaking. In these quiet spots, like in other coves located far from the lights of cities, the brilliantly starlit night sky is a source of incredulous wonder.
MARMARIS Known to the ancients as Physcus, today's Marmaris is a bustling tourist resort with the largest yacht marina in the Eastern Mediterranean. The entrance to the bay on which it lies is narrow, so when viewed from the town the bay has the appearance of a lake and departing boats seem to disappear into the mountains. Its lively night scene and good shopping opportunities make Marmaris one of the favorite stops of a yachting cruise. The walls of its old castle enclose the Old Town with lovely crooked narrow streets and marvellous views. In 1522 the Ottoman Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent embarked his troops here for his conquest of the island of Rhodes then held by the Knights of St. John. Nothing remains today to remind us of this event and the boats that sail between Marmaris and Rhodes carry not soldiers but holidaymakers and may it always be so.
