THE HISTORY

Daidalos was the original name given to Göcek and the surrounding area in ancient times. Legends claim that the name is derived from the architect Daidalos who was the creator of Icarus, the first man to fly. It is also believed that Daidalos, or Göcek, served as the main port town of Lycia in the times of Strabo and Herodotus.At the village of Inlice, 5 km to the south of Göcek, you can see a temple-type rock tomb at the entrance of the village. This gives us an idea of the boundaries of the ancient city.

While time passes and brings with it the inevitable changes, Gocek still remains relatively unspoilt and the peace, tranquility and spectacular beauty of Göcek and its surrounding areas is still very much alive.
