In prehistoric times, the oldest known names of Göcek were Hyparna, Daydala (Daidala), and Kalimçe (Kalimche).

Fethiye has been an important settlement since ancient times. In antiquity, the Lycians, meaning "people of the land of light," possessed this city and it was known as Telmessos. Telmessos (Fethiye) came under Persian rule in 545 BC (6th century BC), and in 333 BC (4th century BC), it was handed over to Alexander the Great. After Alexander’s death, Telmessos remained under the rule of the Egyptian King Ptolemy for a while, but later it was invaded by the Roman Empire and during this period, the city was referred to as Meğri (Makri), meaning "distant land." After the Roman Empire was divided into two, Fethiye (Meğri) remained within the borders of the Eastern Roman/Byzantine Empire.
