Description
Akyaka is a coastal township with its own municipality in the Ula district of Mugla Province in southwestern Turkey. The town is situated at the far end of the Gulf of Gokova, at the start of the fertile Gokova plain, and is a rising center for international tourism due to its advantageous location and natural beauties. It is the first coastal town encountered on the busy road from the province center of Mugla to the better known resort center of Marmaris, and it comes into sight, along with a spectacular view of the gulf and the plain, some thirty miles after departure from Mugla at Sakar Pass, a favorite paragliders spot where the road descends from an altitude of 670 m. to sea-level in the space of a pine-clad section of a dozen kilometers along very sharp curves. At the base of the hill is the intersection to Akyaka.
Locally and casually, erroneously and confusingly, the township of Akyaka is sometimes referred to as Gokovaa, after the name of the gulf and the plain, while there is also an inland township of Gokova neighbouring Akyaka, itself of visitor's interest and whose intersection is slightly further ahead from that of Akyaka in the direction of Marmaris
