PHOTOGRAPHS ALBUM

Çesme is a small old fashion town surrounded by a region of over 1 million inhabitants, mostly in vacation homes during the summer. It is a very pleasant region because it has two openings to the sea: in the Aegean to the W and into the the Gulf of Ildir to the E.

Approach and Navigation
Approaching the Çesme Harbor from the Aegean or approaching the Setur Çeşme Marina and other anchorages in the Gulf of Ildir from the gulf is straight forward and with out dangers but:
Danger: Care must be taken when going from the Aegean to the gulf of Ildir. There are many reefs and shallow areas.

The Uç Burunlar Passage
Going through the tricky Uç Burunlar Passage saves time and distance. At first glance, it seems hopeless because many of the reefs are just below the surface and are very hard to see. The trick is to move very slowly and carefully along an S shaped course. From Çeşme to the Gulf of Ildir proceed as follows:

Head N towards Toprak Adası
When you are half way between Toprak Adası and Uç Burunlar Point turn right heading E
After coming abreast of Uç Burunlar Point turn right and head SE
When your abreast the middle of the cove to your S turn left heading NE
When you are past the E point turn right and head S.
