Ladder Bay

With its deep blue waters and nature waiting to be discovered, the last stop of our Göcek bays list, Merdivenli Bay takes its name from the stairs on the beach, which are thought to be historical. Right at the entrance of the bay, there is a narrow valley consisting of two sides surrounded by olive trees. By following the path starting from the valley entrance, you can reach the small village on the hill, and you can buy various local and handmade products produced by the villagers living here. Climbing the hill and watching the unique view is the best activity to do in Merdivenli Bay.

With a small anchorage area for blue cruise boats, Merdivenli Bay is one of the stops where daily boat tours take a swimming break. Apart from hiking and swimming on the hill, you can explore the caves in the bay and have a little adventure. You can spend the night by pitching a tent in the bay where there are only goats and various insects, but remember that you can only reach the bay from the sea.

Admission to Merdivenli Bay is free. When you come to the bay, if you want to climb the hill and visit the village, be sure to take a pair of sea shoes with you.
