1. Day-trip boats may enter only the listed bays of the Göcek–Dalaman area — among them Göcek Island south, Zeytinli and Domuz islands, the west of Yassıca, Sarsala, Taşyaka, Boynuzbükü, Atbükü, Günlüklü, Kargılı, Kille, Merdivenli, Kurşunlu, Uzunali and the summer harbour of Tersane Island — and only between 10:00 and 20:00.Source: Ministry of Environment — protection and use rules for the Gulf of Göcek and the Göcek–Dalaman bays (2010, PDF) (4 May 2010) — checked 1 Oct 2026
2. Boats must tie up to a marina, jetty, shore ring or mooring buoy; where there are no buoys they may anchor only with a line to a shore ring — never to trees. Stays are limited to 3 days in one bay and 11 days in all.Source: Ministry of Environment — protection and use rules for the Gulf of Göcek and the Göcek–Dalaman bays (2010, PDF) (4 May 2010) — checked 1 Oct 2026
