Günlüklü Koyu has a lot of Günlük trees so naturally this is how the bay was named. This is another bay preferred by many local people who will visit during the weekend. This bay also has a spring, which can be reached by road from the Göcek and Dalaman direction. Inlets can be found around the bay for those who don’t like crowded places and are looking for peace and quiet.

It gets its name from the extremely rare Günlük Trees. Günlük trees (Sweetgum) are used in the production of pharmaceuticals and perfumes. The delicious scent wafting around the bay especially at sunrise and sunset comes from these trees, has large numbers of sweet-smelling sweetgum trees (Liquidambar orientalis). The secretion from these trees is used in the treatment of many illnesses, such as itching, asthma, bronchitis, ulcers and stomach disorders, as well as by the perfume industry.

Günlüklü Bay is a green natural wonder within the Günlük Trees which do not allow sunlight through. This green bay among the trees, is a place to picnic, lay on the hammocks and enjoy the sun. With a calm crystal sea, fine pebble beach Fethiye Günlüklü Bay, is the ideal location for a quiet and peaceful weekend with its tranquil atmosphere.
