Gocek’s Close Proximity to the Dalaman Airport
The town of Gocek is located off the Dalaman – Fethiye highway. Until the year 2006, prior to the construction of the 980 meter long tunnel, was a very windy road to reach Gocek town. The time it took from the Dalaman airport was about 40 minutes. Which, was still not too bad but the road was not a major highway so therefore drivers had to be cautious due to how narrow the road was. Now with the tunnel, it not only saves time to reach Gocek, but it also is substantially safer. Although there is a toll fee required to drive through this tunnel.
The Dalaman International Airport serves many nearby cities and towns as well as villages within the Mugla province. These include the cities of Fethiye, Marmaris and sometimes Bodrum. Travelers have known to go as far as to Antalya from the Dalaman airport. However among all these places, the nearest town or city is Gocek. It’s a mere 15 minute drive from the airport to the town itself which centres around the port.
