If you’re planning a yacht charter in Gocek<\/strong><\/a> or a sailing trip out of Fethiye<\/strong><\/a>, Bedri Rahmi Bay deserves a spot on your itinerary. It’s one of the most atmospheric anchorages in the Gocek area, and the Briliions team regularly brings guests here as part of both day trips and multi-day blue cruises \u2014 it consistently remains a favorite among those who’ve already explored these waters.<\/p>\n

Where Bedri Rahmi Bay Is Located<\/h2>\n

Bedri Rahmi Bay, also known by its Turkish name Tasyaka<\/strong>, sits on the northwest side of the island of the same name, in the Gocek district of Mugla province. It’s about 5 nautical miles from Gocek marina, making it an easy stop for a day cruise<\/strong> or part of a longer blue-voyage route through the Fethiye bay.<\/p>\n

The bay is one of the classic stops on a standard yacht rental in Gocek<\/strong> route, alongside Sarsala Bay, Hamam Bay, Aquarium Bay, and the Yassica Islands. Approaching from the sea, you’ll spot the Olive and Likya restaurants at the entrance \u2014 a small pier just in front of them is where yachts typically moor for the day or overnight.<\/p>\n

The Story Behind the Name: Painter Bedri Rahmi Eyuboglu<\/h2>\n

The bay’s current name comes from Turkish painter and intellectual Bedri Rahmi Eyuboglu. He first sailed these waters back in 1945, joining one of Turkey’s earliest blue voyages alongside writer Cevat Sakir Kabaagacli, known as the “Fisherman of Halicarnassus.” Nearly three decades later, in 1974, Eyuboglu returned to what was then Tasyaka Bay and carved a striking image into the rock on the bay’s north slope \u2014 a fish formed from six different animals. The bay has been known as Bedri Rahmi Bay ever since, and the carving is still visible from the water today.<\/p>\n

Right next to the rock carving, a cold freshwater spring flows into the bay, cooling the warm seawater around it. Sailors traditionally used this spring to top up their fresh water supplies during a stop.<\/p>\n

What to See and Do in the Bay<\/h2>\n

Swimming and Snorkeling<\/h3>\n

The water in Bedri Rahmi Bay is crystal clear and vividly turquoise \u2014 ideal for swimming straight off the boat. The shoreline is pebbled rather than sandy, which keeps the water near the coast especially clean even in peak summer heat.<\/p>\n

Diving and Marine Life<\/h3>\n

The area is popular with snorkelers and divers for its varied marine life and colorful reefs close to shore \u2014 one more reason to make it a stop on a Gocek boat charter<\/strong>, particularly if there are snorkeling enthusiasts on board.<\/p>\n

Ancient Lycian Tombs<\/h3>\n

Not far from the bay, on the fertile pine-covered slopes, sit ancient Lycian rock tombs. Trails leading up to them are visible right from the water \u2014 for those who want to stretch their legs, it’s an easy stop to go ashore and explore.<\/p>\n

A Sheltered, Quiet Anchorage<\/h3>\n

Surrounded by pine and olive-covered hills, the bay is well protected from wind and known for its calm, largely untouched setting \u2014 a popular pick for travelers looking for a quiet spot away from the crowds, while still being an easy addition to a one-day yacht rental in Fethiye<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Best Time to Visit Bedri Rahmi Bay<\/h3>\n

The sailing season around Gocek and Fethiye runs from April through October, with the most comfortable water temperatures from May to September. To enjoy the bay without other boats crowding in, aim for early morning or late afternoon \u2014 most group excursions tend to arrive around midday.<\/p>\n

Combining It With Other Bays: A Sample Day Route<\/h3>\n

Bedri Rahmi Bay fits naturally into a day trip or multi-day route around Gocek’s Twelve Islands. For example:<\/p>\n
