Twelve Islands (Gocek)

About Twelve Islands (Gocek)

A chain of pine-fringed islands in the Gulf of Fethiye that turns a single day of sailing into a string of postcard anchorages. Tersane Island's sunken Ottoman shipyard, the half-submerged Roman walls of Cleopatra's Bath, and the electric-blue shallows of the Yassica Islands are all within easy reach of Gocek.

Highlights

• Yassica Islands — five uninhabited isles, paddle-board shallows

• Cleopatra's Bath — half-submerged Roman thermal walls

• Tersane Island — sunken Ottoman shipyard

• Bedri Rahmi Bay — poet-painter's "Fish" motif

• Easy day-trips from Gocek or Fethiye
