Gokova Iskelesi


Gokova Iskelesi
37°02'9N, 28°19'4E
Akyaka town is located beside the Gokova River at the end of the gulf. Anchoring is possible off the settlement area, surrounded by high cliffs, or in the small shelter on the Northeast corner. The bottom is mud, so it is a good holding. The shelter and the surrounding area is shallow. Therefore, it can only be used by boats with lower draught.
Here, a hospital, gas station, restaurants, motels and guest houses can be found, The houses reflecting the old Turkish architectural style -especially Ula houses- are well-worth seeing. Motels and motels in this region are also in accordance with this architecture.
Next to the city center, there are camping and picnic sites among pine forests, and they are under protection. There are bungalow houses for accommodation as well.
You can also visit the reamins of Idyma ancient city on the slopes, about 600 m under Sakar Kayasi on Gokova motorway. Among those remains, which are thought to date back to 400 BC, walls and rock tombs can be seen.
