Gemiler Koyu

✨ Hidden gem

Gemiler Koyu is a quietly stunning anchorage near Fethiye, about 8 km from the ghost village of Kayaköy, where you drop the hook and swim in calm, sheltered water. Just across from Gemiler Island (historically known as Aya Nicola), the bay sits beside ruins of Byzantine-era churches and early Christian monuments that you can explore ashore. It's popular enough to see day-trip boats swing through, so arrive early or late in the day to catch it at its most peaceful.
