Sailing in Turkey also allows visitors to experience the hospitality of the people in the coastal villages and towns. The tempered winds blowing from west and northwest make the long summers ideal for yachting, and seem to encourage an appreciation of nature. From some of the turquoise coast's unspoilt and sheltered bays you can see mountain peaks rising to almost 3000 meters above sea level.

Kocabahçe Bay is between points; Kargacık and Ayı. It indents 1/2 Nm to the SW and narrows. There are considerable depths, but it gets shelve ashore. Care is needed for the reefs, extending out from the tip of point Kargacık at the entry.

Kocabahçe is one of absolute favorite destinations. Because of the crystal clear water and the with thyme and sage covered hills, well kept garden behind the restaurant, toilets, a lot of goats on adjacent land and in the mountains, the bay enjoys increasing popularity. Kocabahçe also called thyme-bay. When it is raining in spring and autumn, the whole bay smells of thyme.

Boats can anchor in 10 - 20 m and get a line ashore to the north. A stream joints into the sea on the south. This side is lee from breeze. Strong northerlies send swell in and it is funneled down from the mountain and it causes cross combination.
