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.

Care is needed for the reefs, extending from the tip of the points on both sides. Swells at the entry from the prevailing wind, dies off in the middle then rises up by the beach side.

Kurucabük provides all-round shelter except in SE winds and moderate shelter from southerlies if you anchor close to the peninsula and take a line ashore. The slopes are densily wooded by pine trees. This part is a favorite anchorage for those loving serenity.

Boats anchor off by the state camping zone in 6 - 10 m. The bottom is weed and sand. Make sure  you anchor in the sand bottom. You can easliy drift if your anchor in thick weed. The beach area is cordoned off by the buoys.
