Supply and demand shouldnt mean destroying the character of a place with bland buildings.

I was in Gocek over a week ago and couldn't believe what they'd done to the place.  I'd only been there once before and ate in a superb restaurant on the front which has now gone.  I thought I'd imagined the place until reading this.  It's definately lost a lot of character, I don't know what the locals must think.

we were there yesterday and it still retains that old charm- just a bit smarter. Just cos we liked the oldy worly feeling the crumbling buildings gave it doesnt mean we can halt progress!

Is there a dolmus from Fethiye to Gocek, how long does it take and is it worth the bother.?

I have never been on the trip (on my list) but I have seen that a boat goes from Fethiye on a Sunday for the market. It was priced at £5 when I saw it - nothing else just the trip which sounded nice.

Thanks for the quick response but please can you tell me where to catch the dolmus? Is it by the mosque? Or would the boat be a better option?

The Dolmus runs from the bus station in Fethiye, by the garage behind Erin spot shop, it usually does a little detour past the mosque and then heads out of Fethiye and down the Gunlukbasi road.

Teresa, done that boat trip, it takes ages, you only get about half an hour in Gocek market then the boat heads off to Gocek island where it pulls up to let you swim. It's a nice trip but you really don't get to see much of Gocek.
