Known as Callimachus in ancient times, local legend claims that Icarus fell into these waters after his daring flight. History remains silent about his fate thereafter, but the myth feels surprisingly fitting: sky, sea, and wind\u2014the main characters of this place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, G\u00f6cek has transformed into a mecca of yachting tourism: six modern marinas, including D-Marin and Skopea Marina, bursting with sails, flags, and gleaming hulls. Hundreds of boats at anchor, including the 55-metre beauty Halo<\/em>, owned by Roman Abramovich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n G\u00f6cek is not just a resort but a true club for those who love the elements and comfort. We set out to sea on one of the yachts. Our course: 12 islands, with ancient ruins, whimsical cliffs, secluded shores, and passing sandy beaches of Sar\u0131germe, \u0130ztuzu, and Dalyan…<\/p>\n\n\n\n But G\u00f6cek was not the only hero of the day. We returned to paragliding, and this time it was no one less than the mayor of Fethiye himself\u2014Alim Karaca\u2014who took to the sky. Mei Fen Zhou, counsellor at the Chinese embassy, followed his example.<\/p>\n\n\n \u201cWe continue to promote Fethiye. We have already introduced guests to local cuisine, showed them the city, and told them about projects. And now we tried paragliding, launching from Babada\u011f mountain\u2014I joined them too!\u201d explained Alim Karaca, describing the purpose of the flight.<\/p>\n\n\n The paraglider soared from Babada\u011f, a mountain long considered the region\u2019s hallmark. Local media did not miss the moment\u2014the mayor\u2019s photo in flight graced the front page of the Avrupa<\/em> newspaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/londoncult.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/img_0307.jpeg\")
