Municipality of Gocek Marina

This guide to Gocek Marina in Muğla follows Turkish painter Bedri Rahmi Eyuboglu, who sailed these waters in the early 1970s with a loose fellowship of poets and writers on what they called the Blue Voyage. It traces how an ordinary fish he painted on a rock gave a nearby cove his name, and lingers on the other bays and islands around the harbor, from a coral-clear inlet to a stand of prized sweetgum trees. Look closely at that painted fish, locals say, and more than one creature hides inside it.
