SWISSÔTEL GÖCEK MARINA & RESORT IN TURKEY OPENS FOR THE SUMMER SEASON

ZURICH, May 2011 – After a six-month winter break, Swissôtel Göcek Marina & Resort has opened its doors again for the summer 2011 season. Located right on the Turkish Mediterranean coast, the picturesque fishing village of Göcek has long been recommended by those in the know as a perfect place to spend an undisturbed holiday away from the masses. The hotel overlooking the bay, which is excellent for sailing, thanks partly to the ideal wind conditions, offers crystal-clear water, idyllic Mediterranean scenery and a private sandy beach.

Swissôtel Göcek Marina & Resort is the only hotel in the village, and boasts its own 280-metre-long private beach along with a marina with berths for 400 yachts. The hotel, which has just 57 bedrooms, provides a superb setting for a restful holiday in a peaceful location.
The modern rooms are equipped with every amenity and all have a balcony or terrace with a stunning view of the turquoise sea or the surrounding mountains.

Water sport options of every kind are available within nearby, from diving and parasailing to sailing excursions and windsurfing. White water rafting, cycling and walking tours can also be arranged through the hotel. Guests who prefer something a little more relaxing can take
advantage of the outdoor pool, sauna, massage and beauty treatments.

There are two restaurants and bars at Swissôtel Göcek Marina & Resort offering tempting cuisine. The Sundowner restaurant and bar, located directly adjacent to the hotel’s private beach, serves drinks, snacks and light meals as well as lunches and evening meals freshly
prepared every day in a relaxed ambiance. The Sundowner offers the best and most beautiful view of the bay of Göcek and during the season is open daily from 10.00am to 11.00pm.

From the terrace of the Olive Tree restaurant on the other hand, you can enjoy a wonderful view of the village of Göcek. Breakfast is served here from 7.00 to 10.30am daily and light meals and snacks from 11.00am to 11.00pm.

Göcek is just 25 minutes from Dalaman International Airport and can be reached easily by public transport. Its mild climate means that even in the autumn, Göcek is the ideal place to enjoy a few days of sun on the Turkish Mediterranean coast.
