Gocek Sea School Turkey is situated in the international known picturesque village of Gocek which is only 25 minutes drive from Dalaman Airport.
Sunny skies, warm turquoise waters, cooling breezes, deserted anchorages and tranquil bays are what you will find as you sail along the southern coast of Turkey. Combined with the warmth and sincerity of the people, spectacular scenery, f
ascinating ruins from previous civilisations and delicious food - who could ask for more!
The Mediterranean climate of southern Turkey offers visitors sunshine and clear, blue skies almost everyday from April to November. The coastline is a mixture of wide gulfs, peaceful coves, shady beaches, uninhabited islands, small villages and bustling towns. Many of these locations are still only accessible by boat - truly a yachtsman's paradise with constant and predictable winds offering ideal sailing conditions for both the novice and the experienced sailor alike. You will be welcomed wherever you go and shown genuine, traditional hospitality. Turkish people adore young children and go out of their way to give them special attention. Communication is not a problem as most people speak adequate English.
Additional Comments:
