göcek blues
Göcek is a small coastal town in Türkiye, located within the district of Fethiye in Muğla province, renowned for its natural beauty. The Göcek Chrome mines, which were closed in 1993, were transformed into a new Yacht Marina and Tourism Complex through a multimillion-dollar investment. Today, Göcek stands out for its prominence in yachting and luxury tourism, with much of its coastline occupied by private marinas and multiple businesses. This situation has been criticized for restricting public access to the shoreline, sparking debates on environmental concerns and commercial interests.
In the winter, Göcek takes on a quiet, peaceful character—far from the lively marinas and tourist crowds of summer. With the end of the season, many businesses and beaches close, and the town is left mostly to its locals. A deep calm settles over the streets and shoreline, making this the perfect time to experience Göcek’s natural beauty and serenity. In many ways, it’s when you get a glimpse of the town’s true soul.
Göcek is more than they ever know.
