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.

WESTWARD OF ALAÇATI BAY ANCHORAGE

Çeşme - Izmir - Turkey

GPS : 38°16'02.4"N 26°14'46.9"E / 38.267334, 26.246348

Going along the coast west of Alaçatı there are numerous sandy beaches right up to the westerly point. Some of these are deserted, some backed by beach clubs or tasteful holiday villages.

These provide good holding and shelter from northerly waves, thus making them feasible anchorages while waiting for a weather window before turning north up the channel between Chios and Çeşme.

There is good cell phone coverage, but no provisions - unless you walk all the way across to the north coast of the peninsula.

Warning: There a several shallow rocks off the coast (which are charted), and the actual coastline is not well charted. Arrive cautiously with a good lookout in the bow. The bottom is gently shelving. Anchor as close as you can get in 3 - 4 m on sand.
