The SE corner of the Ekincik Koyu, Maden İskelesi Koyu provides adequate shelter. Boats anchor in the S and take a line ashore. A wooden pier on the east, belongs to a restaurant. There are laid moorings tailed on pier. Water and electricty connections are available. This restaurant is one the best in Mediterranean Sea, providing a variety of excellent seafood to visitors. The slopes are densely wooded in pine. The restaurant is hidden like a nest among the trees. The setting is wonderful. It is worth arriving before sunset so you can fully enjoy the tremendous view of the bay.

The people of the little village have a well-deserved reputation for their hospitality, making you feel right at home. As you sit in the cockpit or walk along the shores, the scent of pine fills the air. Sea birds and land birds in flight, wheeling and diving, add to the beauty of this quintessential Mediterranean setting. Harbor of Ekincik, located on the western entry cape of the inlet of Ekincik and covered with green pine forests, is a place of priority because it is very near to the ruined remains of Caunos.

The grassy plain is in the middle and the village of Ekincik is at the back of the inlet respectively. The cooperative of motorboats incorporated by the villagers here, will take you from your sailboat and carry to Caunos. You can drop anchor in the part where there are motorboats and along the wide sand beach, and also in the wonderful inlet amongst the verdure exactly opposite the lighthouse. If you can find a place for yourself in this inlet where the green and the blue are intermingled with each other, it will be both safe and pleasing to anchor there.

HISTORICAL PLACE
The archaeological record indicates that the original city of Caunos was established nearly 5,000 years ago, making it one of the oldest on Earth. The level of the Mediterranean Sea was much higher at the time, covering the present-day river delta to reach five miles inland, right to the doorstep of Caunos. It was a major port for centuries and the ruins show a cosmopolitan blend of cultures.

AĞA LİMANI ANCHORAGE

Dalaman - Muğla - Turkey



PHOTOGRAPHS ALBUM

The twin bays of Ağa Limanı are a tempting place to drop anchor. This is a bay that many local people prefer to visit at weekends to rest with their families and have a picnic. There is a spring in the bay, which is available all year round. Wild animals also visit this bay when it is quiet to drink water and also to eat the food that has been left from the picnics.

You are able simply to relax, swim, try your luck at fishing or take even a long walk along the beach. The sea is extremely clean it and water is cooler than elsewhere as a result of the underwater source near the beach.

Ağa Limanı lies 1 Nm north of point; Kızılkuyruk Burnu, indents like a slingshot, with a creek at the head of each arm. The bay is open to east. The cove on the west is Büyük Koy, the one on the northwest is Küçük Koy. The coves in Ağa Limanı are favourite stopover ports for boats cruising north and westward. When heading that direction, raise your anchor early before the breeze gets up to avoid cross-swell and choppy seas around Point Kurdoğlu and Dişibilmez.

Sailing around the region of Marmaris while on your yacht or blue cruise will take you to many different places and none is as cosy and secluded as this little cove. It’s almost picture perfect because of how rustic is looks. Only a few boats can set anchor here at a time giving you enough privacy to enjoy the view of rocky slopes and the pine trees.

Most of the cruises that stop are heading either north or west. There is a small white sandy beach that you can swim ashore and then can sunbathe from, however, this bay lacks in facilities so bring along the things you might need. Water or some snacks for a picnic. Or better yet take a snooze right on the beach sand or hike to the nearby ruins.

Hiking up the slopes will also give you a stunning view of the entire cove. This is a popular stopover to relax in the tranquil waters before heading to more crowded areas. The sunset here is also quite romantic should you stick around long enough to see it.

The Society worked on coast regulation, tea houses near the beach, cabins, showers and environment regulation making Sarıgerme one of the most popular beaches in the world. To get to the beach you can pick up the "Çekçek" (type of cart) from Sarıgerme village to the beach; once you have arrived you wili pay a nominal fee for entering.

There are two sandy beaches in Sarıgerme, both with cafes, showers and toilets on hand. The beaches are a 20 minute walk from the resort centre and many hotels run shuttle services throughout the day. The public beach tends to be the most popular and is connected to many of the hotels, the private beach charges a small entrance but is far quieter and more relaxed.

TERSANE ISLAND ANCHORAGE

Dalaman - Muğla - Turkey

GPS : 36°40'45.1"N 28°55'32.7"E / 36.679197, 28.925750



PHOTOGRAPHS ALBUM

Tersane Adası is the largest island in the Gulf of Fethiye. The bay on NW affords all-round shelter. A deep channel provides easy entry to the inlet of Tersane and the eastern side of the bay provides a protected anchorage for charter yachts. According to ancient sources the island, named Telandria, was used as a ship dockyard during the Ottoman period.

 In the days of the Ottoman Empire, the Greeks lived there. But after their deportation to the island, there were only a few old houses and a church left that you can still see the ruins. Previously, the small cove of the island used to build gulet yachts. For this reason, the island is named as "Tersane" which means boat yard.

We know that the Island of Tersane which was formerly called Telandria, was inhabited in the past, but the remains of the ruined houses of the island, which are seen from the land and sea, total only about 140. There are the remains of two churches, one of which is near the well and the other is on the hill; and the tomb of the chief of the people who lived here in the past, is in the west. The island was inhabited in the past as is evidenced by the many ruined houses, fruit trees and goat herds. There are also remains of two churches and a tomb.

You will notice a watch tower and shipyard as soon as you arrive from which the island was named. There are two bays on the island named by sailors as winter and summer harbours. Many blue voyage yachts or daily tripper boats anchor in these two bays during their voyage. After entering a narrow channel you will be in calm waters. Due to this feature many sailors use this bay as a shelter to escape from unexpected winds.

A deep channel, 100 m wide, provides entry to the Inlet of Tersane which extends inwards from the northwest of the island a natural harbor. You can drop anchor anywhere in the inlet except the eastern part which is shallow. Since the western part is closed to the effect of the southwest and north winds, it is safer to anchor here.

Since the Ottoman fleet used the island as a dockyard during World War I, it is called by this name today. The rocks related to the dockyard, which still lie in the sea, also indicate this fact. It is known that the people who lived here before the exchange of population, used to deal in stock breeding and growing fruits.

Winter Port
GPS : 36°40'32.3"N 28°54'54.6"E / 36.675631, 28.915165

The bay on NW affords all-round shelter. The entrance of the bay is not easily identified from a distance. The entrance lies between two steep slopes. There is good depth in the strait, mostly 20 m and the depths drop 5-10m in the cove. The bottom is sand-weed. The bottom gradually shelves to shore, and ends in a pool. Care is needed at night. It gets swell from the strait. Ease your chain as much as possible. The northern and southern corners are adequate anchorages to be tucked up with a line ashore.

Tersane Koyu is a winter port, providing all-round shelter. The settings are attractive. There is a pretty restaurant and a quay where berthing is available up to 15 boats. There are laid moorings tailed on quay.

The ruins ashore are from the ancient boatyard settelements. A number of goats live on the island, their voice is higher pitched at night. This anchorage gets crowded by excursion boats by noon time, but it is calm and quite at night. It is better to arrive in late and leave before noon the next day.

Anchoring is permitted in Tersane Creek at the NW tip of the island, where there is also a restaurant jetty with laid moorings for customers.

Summer Port
GPS : 36°40'43.0"N 28°55'13.8"E / 36.678601, 28.920486

The summer port on NE of Tersana Island ends in a sandy beach. This anchorage is open to N-SE. There are good depths in the bay, but it gets shelve ashore. The south corner affords sheltering with a line ashore. It is adequate shelter in summer.

A rough path goes to 300 m, where there is a restaurant. A restaurant on the island is a good place for charter yacht visitors to lunch and north of the island is Summer Port, a lovely swimming area.

Tersane Creek
GPS : 36°40'06.3"N 28°55'44.3"E / 36.668414, 28.928975

Tersane Creek lies at the NW tip of Tersane island at the northern "entrance" to Skopea Limanı. It is a charming creek surrounded by olive groves and with the ruins of what appears to have been a Byzantine or Ottoman dockyard and ship servicing facility at its head (Tersane: Turkish for shipyard).

Anchor on either side of the inlet and take a line ashore to a bollard. Most yachts seem to prefer the western side. If you can get far enough into the inlet, you may even be dropping anchor in as little as 8 - 10 metres. At the head of the inlet, there are two coves to the NE and SW which are full of underwater ruins and should be avoided. Anchoring is permitted in Tersane Creek at the NW tip of the island, where there is also a restaurant jetty with laid moorings for customers.

In the centre of the head of the creek is the Tersane Creek Restaurant, which has a (rather rickety) wooden jetty accommodating some 10 yachts on laid moorings. Shelter is very good here, being open only to NNW winds, which only have a fetch of little more than a mile. At night, if the creek is silent you will hear tawny owls calling to each other across the cove.

Anchoring is permitted in Tersane Creek at the NW tip of the island, where there is also a restaurant jetty with laid moorings for customers. In addition, there are three further anchorages outside the gulf on the eastern side of the Kapıdağı peninsula, which offer reasonable shelter in the prevailing winds but are open E round to SE.

An islet with a few olive trees, divides the strait between Domuz and Tersane Islands. A cove-Hacıdede Deresi indents on NE side of Domuz Island. It affords good shelter from prevailing winds. There is a shallow patch 30 to 40 m diameter, which can be located by its colour. There are Lycian ruins on this shallow patch-probably abandoned after the silted up.

Care is needed while dropping the hook. A nice anchorage is on the west, but the creek on the east, facing the strait has room just for a few boats. There is an impressive house on the west among attractive settings. Cool anchorage in summer.

PHOTOGRAPHS ALBUM

Domuz Island is a private island and no landing is allowed. There is a small cove on the northern side which is sometimes used by vessels anchoring in 15 metres, an activity that seems to be tolerated as long as they don’t send parties ashore.

Domuz Island is also called as Prince Island. In the island, there used to be large number of wild boars. Because the mooring of the island is protected from winds, it is an ideal place for the gulet yacht to anchor and overnight. In the north of the island, there is a creek. It has a very narrow entrance and a long corridor, surrounded by olive and pine trees. Here at the most extreme end of the bay, you can see the ancient ruins and rock tombs.

Uzun Ali Koyu

KIZILKUYRUK COVE ANCHORAGE

Dalaman - Muğla - Turkey

GPS : 36°37'06.0"N 28°52'18.0"E / 36.618333, 28.871667



PHOTOGRAPHS ALBUM

Kızılkuyruk Koyu is about 1 Nm NNW of Ince Burun between Ekincik Liman and Fethiye. It is a lovely cove but very crowded. In 1997 a small restaurant was continuously blasting the cove with disco music. Anchor in 8 - 12 m and take a line to the shore. In Kuzeykol deep of the sea is with sand and alga, you can anchor in 10-15 meters and pull alongside on the coast. It is considerably protected against the dominant winds; yet its southeast and east sides are open.

Kızılkuyruk Koyu is about one mile north of Cape Kızılkuyruk on the eastern side of the Kapıdağı peninsula. It is a pleasant cove but often full of gulets. Anchor in 8-12 metres in the southern arm of the cove and take a line ashore. The holding is good in sand and weed. Kızılkuyruk Bay - Kızılkuyruk is located on the eastern side of Kapıdağı and 1 mile north-northwest of Inceburun. The best anchoring point is on the west part of the bay.

About a 30 minute walk up the hill is Lydae, an archaeological site. The site, with two Roman mausoleums and some Byzantine foundations, is not very interesting but its setting is exquisite. There are several mud-brick domes which may be Moslem tombs but I am not so sure because goats have been using them for shelter. It is possible to visit the site of ancient Lydae about a mile to the west, although there is little to see there except a few mausoleums and some Roman and Byzantine ruins.

Take an uphill hike ashore from Kızılkuyruk or Ağa Limanı and you wil soon be on the plateau high above. Up here, follow the goat track to Ancient Lydae to see mausolea, the walls of a temple, Corinthian columns, a cistern and inscribed pedestals from both Roman and Byzantine eras. The views on the way back are wonderful.

Kızılkuyruk Burnu also goes by the names, Cape Ghinazi, Ince Burun, Kızılkuyruk Burnu, İnce Burun

A beautiful small bay with blue turquoise water. Quite a gem. Just a delightful, tiny anchorage in this highly indented coast. Steep wooded hills, caves, goats, fantastic clear night sky, swims, sigh.

It is a very good anchoring place which is under Kuyruk bay. It is an excellent bay where gullets take entrance temporarily during daytime. Light coolness of breeze enters into the bay but if you approach to the coast finely, you may not be disturbed from this.

Göbün cove affords all-round shelter. Several visiting boats winter in the water here. Dalaman is easily accessible for provisional supply. The bay located south of the Domuz Bay. The entrance of the bay is very narrow but once inside you will find a long bay surrounded by olive and pine trees.

Göbün Koyu cannot easily be identified from a distance. You will spot the bay only as pass the opening, which is between sheer cliffs. Larger boats cannot enter this cove as there is little space for maneuvering. There is 5 to 7 m depth and the bottom is sand. The western side is shallow. There are underwater demolished walls from the ancient settlements.

Low Quay

There is a low quay on starboard where there is room for a few yatchs. Boats can anchor in the middle and take a line to this quay.

Restaurant Pier
GPS : 36°38'35.3"N 28°53'35.7"E / 36.643127, 28.893252
There are floating moorings of the restaurant. A quay of the restaurant has berthing capacity up to 40 boats. The area near by the head of the quay is rocky. It is best to go bows-to it to secure your rudder though long passarellas are provided by restaurant. The restaurant is one of the oldest restaurants in Göcek. It is owned by a diver and his wife from Kayaköy. They provide good food and service. They produce electricity from the solar panels. There is a barber next to the restaurant.

The settings are very attractive. Do not forget to climb up before sunset for a fabulous view of Göcek bay. Rough but nice path leads you to the ruins from the Roman period.  At the far end of the bay you will find some rock cut tombs and ruins. The bay is visited by blue voyagers but not by the daily tripper boats.

Yavansu (Martı) Cove lies on the SE of point; Kuyrucak Burnu. The depths shelve ashore. Yavansu Koyu is at the eastern end of the wide bay that opens up as you proceed about one mile west from Kapı Creek. There is a wooden pier. Boats can be anchored fore-and-aft and get a line ashore or anchored off in 10 m and swing. This cove is open to breeze, making it an inadequate overnight anchorage. The slopes are densely covered by pine and olive trees.

The reason this place is called Yavansu is due to the water quality coming down from the mountains is good only for animal watering. This cove is also called as Seagull Bay (Martı Koyu) because of seagull mosaics on the shore.

Across Marto Bay is easily recognized with its great painting of seagull on the coast. This is a calm place that is not used by gullet so much. Yachts can be pull alongside to T port in front of a restaurant from the rear or bow of the boat or may anchor in 10 - 15 meters on the east side of the bay.

Seagull Bay is at the eastern end of the wide bay that opens up as you proceed about one mile west from Kapı Creek. There is a very prominent image of a seagull created with white stones on the shore. The restaurant which was formerly here is closed and the jetty appears to be in an advanced state of disrepair. Either free anchor in 15 - 20 metres or anchor and take a line ashore to one of the numerous orange bollards around the bay.

A restaurant ashore provides service from time to time.  There is a very prominent image of a Yavansu created with white stones on the shore. The restaurant which was formerly here is closed and the jetty appears to be in an advanced state of disrepair. Either free anchor in 15 - 20 metres or anchor and take a line ashore to one of the numerous orange bollards around the bay. Yavansu Koyu is open from NE round to NW.

Rocks on the hills around the bay on the south of Manastır Bay entrance are eroded and transformed into sharp columns. These columns that rise up through olive trees create different view. You can pull alongside port to at the end of bay. You can anchor throw a mooring line to coast. There are places in 10 - 15 m depth in the offshore 50 meters; but there are waves passing the bay all along. These waves create disturbance rather than danger.

HAMAM COVE ANCHORAGE

Dalaman - Muğla - Turkey

GPS : 36°38'31.4"N 28°51'21.0"E / 36.642054, 28.855825



PHOTOGRAPHS ALBUM

Batık Hamam (Hamam Bay, Ruin Bay) is the classical stop of all gulet yachts and daily trip boats. This is the bay that no blue voyage yachts or daily tripper boats will pass without anchoring. The sailors like to spend their nights here. Daily tripper boats prefer to serve lunch to their customers in this bay.

At the bottom of the sea, where the ruins are, before the wind starts very early in the morning, you can see the sands at the bottom are still a bit moving. The eastern shore is deep. Boats anchor in 20 m and take a line ashore.  The western side is the best to be tucked up. The settings are very attractive.

Ruin Bay is situated in the next bay to the west from Twenty-two Fathom Cove, in the SE corner. Pass outside the two islets en route. There is a reef extending some 40 - 50 metres NW from the second islet. The ruined buildings from which the cove takes its name extend right down to the shore and even into the sea in places. Anchor in 15 - 20 metres and take a line ashore to one of the bollards. The bottom is sand and mud and good holding. The cove is only open N but the fetch is not enough to be troublesome.

Cleopatra's Baths, (actually The bay of Cleopatra's Baths), is a large bay full of lots of pine trees, and has a dark blue sea which goes to light blue, as you reach the shore. In the south - western part of the bay, there are some ruins which came down because of the earthquakes in Fethiye. According to the myth, in one of the visits of Cleopatra to Anatolian coasts, her close friends decided to build a Roman Bath for Cleopatra as a present.

Because, they found a hot water spring in this part of the bay. The water here was very good for the skin, with the minerals and elements it contained like Calcium, Magnesium, etc. Some say that the mystery which lies behind the beauty of Cleopatra is the water here. (however, it may be true..) The water here, was coming from a crater lake (dry now) which was behind the mountain you see at the northern side of the bay. Even today, if you look. This means that there is still a bit amount of hot water coming out today. If you want to try your chance to be as beautiful as Cleopatra and to look 10 years younger, you are allowed to swim around and in the ruins.

Right next to the marina, there are wall fragments of a Byzantine monastery. A demolished bath lends a special atmosphere to this cove. According to legend, it was built by the ruler of the ancient settlements on the slope.  On the island you can take a pleasant stroll through the woods or along the shore. A nice excursion will be climbing to Mountain Yavansu where you can see the ruins of the ancient city of Lydia. According to the legend, in Batık Hamam Cleopatra can walk up to the waist in the water on muddy rocks.

Anchorage pine right down to the edge of the water. The monastery ruins are half submerged. This is also known as Ruin Bay.  A 45 minute hike takes you to ancient Lydae. Off the beaten path and rarely visited, Lydae features Sarcophagi, Temple Walls, Cisterns, Corinthian columns and inscribed tablets from the Roman and Byzantine periods. Cleopatra, by the way, was here twice, once with Julius Caesar and once with Marc Antony.

You will see a monastery next to the pontoon some of which is under water. You can walk in the pine forest along the shore. There are several restaurants with wooden pergolas on the shore serving the yachts.

If you feel up to it you can take a half an hour walk from Hamam Bay to the hill where you will see the ancient city of Lydae. You can also reach here from Yavansu Bay. If you climb the hill, you can see Port Gökgemile and open sea. Do not forget to climb before sunset.

MANASTIR COVE ANCHORAGE

Dalaman - Muğla - Turkey

GPS : 36°38'38.0"N 28°51'02.3"E / 36.643898, 28.850648



PHOTOGRAPHS ALBUM

Manastır Koyu (Wall Bay) lies 1 Nm SW of point; Boz Burun. It indents by the isthmus of Kapıdağ Peninsula. The setting is magnificient. The forested hillsides and violet cliffs on both sides are split by ravines. Manastır Koyu is one the most favorite anchorages in Göcek bays. There are two coves, both are adequate anchorages.

There is a fabulous bay shaded by pines just one nautical mile to the W of Bozburun called Manastır Koyu. In making your approach to Manastır, you should navigate to the right, while maintaining a distance of 50 - 60 m from the island in front. It is suitable to anchor anywhere in the bay, whereas small boats can moor alongside the wooden pier and spend the night by tying a line around one of the trees on shore.

Manastır Koyu is the cove half a mile to the NW of Ruin Bay and is one of the most delightful anchorages. Anchor in the horseshoe shaped cove at the top of the bay, to the north of to the 10 metres high defensive wall from which the bay takes its name, and take a line ashore to a bollard.

There is a ruined restaurant quay in the centre of the ‘horseshoe’ and two dangerous underwater rocks lie about 20 metres offshore from its northern end. Make sure you anchor clear of them if mooring towards the northern side of the cove. Depths here are 10 - 15 metres and the holding is excellent in sand and mud. Shelter is excellent from all directions except NE.

In the SE quadrant of Manastır Koyu, one can see ruins in the sea that have been named by the local folks as Cleopatra’s Hamam. However, this is a fallacy as these ruins do not date back to the time of the Egyptian Queen, but rather to that of the Byzantine Empire. The pines lean into the sea as if they are kissing it whereas they stretch from water’s edge to the top of the hills, adding distinct beauty to the bay.

There are restaurants that are open to serve guests who have arrived in this wonderful bay which has fused with nature.

The S quadrant of the bay, where there is an island as well as remnants of a Roman bath, is considered to be an ideal spot to anchor as it remains calm in stormy weather. However, you cannot drop anchor in the W side of the bay in winds coming in from the N as well as lodos. It is a comfortably nice place to spend the night as long as there is no wind blowing.

In the W part of Manastır Koyu is an old, long wall that runs by a restaurant called Wallbay. This wall was built to protect Lydae at the top of the isthmus and its village Arymaxa. From here it extends up to the hill and then back down to the sea again. Thusly, the peninsula was securely cut off from the mainland.

Entering into Wall Bay is not sailing into a wall, in fact, far from it. A backdrop of pine clad hills greet you as you sail through the clear blue sea. There are two jetties that will accommodate around 35 yachts tied up alongside. Electricity will come from a generator and you can use the showers if you wish.

Restaurant Pier
GPS : 36°38'40.4"N 28°51'02.7"E / 36.644545, 28.850739
The two wooden piers are for the dismemberment of the vessels’ passengers. There is a restaurant across from a long wall. It gets quite crowded around lunchtime with famished day-trippers on excursions from Fethiye. Once they cast off lines, the restaurant returns to its normal calm self.

Wall Bay Restaurant Pier
GPS : 36°38'40.4"N 28°51'02.6"E / 36.644560, 28.850729
Alternatively, berth alongside at the Wall Bay Restaurant on the north side of the bay, where there is space for around 30 yachts on 2 long jetties. Mooring lines are tied around angle iron supports, so don’t use your best ones. The menu at the restaurant is typical of Skopea Limanı. A restaurant stands among the olive trees, to starboard as you enter.

Now, let’s untie our mooring lines from the trees along the seashore and set a course for a new bay while we continue our search for hitherto undiscovered hues of green and blue.

SARSALA COVE ANCHORAGE

Dalaman - Muğla - Turkey

GPS : 36°39'41.4"N 28°51'15.2"E / 36.661506, 28.854212



PHOTOGRAPHS ALBUM

Sarsala Cove is a group of three coves some 1.5 miles NNE of Wall Bay. Anchoring is possible in any of the coves, depending on conditions, but you will be dropping in at least 15 metres.
It is a big bay on the north of Bozburun. White houses on the west side of the bay attract attention. There is a marble column on the south of the bay and there is another piece of column ahead of it. There are great deals of places where yacht can anchor and pull alongside to the coast.

There are three big beaches in the area. A restaurant and sun shades are provided at the beach. One of them is Sarsala cove, which is calm and suntrap, is 20 min. drive away from Dalaman. Because of being protection area, there is no construction around it. While you are getting there on top of the hill of Sarsala you will be met by a fascinating panoramic view. The cove today is one of the most popular stop points of the boats and yachts on the Blue Cruise.

Sarsala Cove lies between points; Martin Burnu on N and Boz Burun on S. It indents to the west and ends with a long shingle beach. The hillsides are densely wooded in pine. A pier on the south of the beach is for tripper boats landing. Water is available. Boats anchor in 10 - 12 m off the beach side and swing at anchor. This anchorage is loaded by gullets. A cove intends to the south after the beach ; boats can anchor here with a long line ashore or swing. The depth is good; drop your anchor in 15 - 20 m. The pines come right to water's edge.

Sarsala Cove Restaurant Jetty
GPS : 36°39'44.5"N 28°51'03.8"E / 36.662373, 28.851050
Alternatively, go to the centre cove and moor on the jetty of the Sarsala Cove Restaurant, where there is space for some 20-30 yachts in depths of 4 metres on laid moorings. Restaurant staff will help you moor, taking your lines to mild steel rings nailed to the planking of the jetty (so perhaps not a good place to be in unsettled weather!). The shelter here is good from all directions except NE. In the prevailing W/NW winds, however, gusts will be experienced from both sides. There is also occasional swell from passing gulets heading for the beach at the northern end of the bay.

The largest bay on the north side of Boz Burun, you will see the white houses of the small hamlet as you round the headland to Sarsala. On the southern side of the bay there is an old marble column on the point and further along another fragment of column. There are a number of coves all along the southern side of the bay where a yacht can anchor with a long line ashore.

One of the most idyllic is the Pilloried Cove right in the south west corner of the bay. This is a perfect lunch stop-over on a Sarsala yacht charter - somewhere to drop anchor and take life easy for an afternoon, alternating refreshing dips for swimming and snorkelling with snoozes under the bimini. For the more energetic, there are the remains of an old wreck to dive and good watersports facilities, including windsurfing and waterskiing. Around the headland to the north is Deep Bay where there is a simple restaurant and you can hike up through the pine forests to a lake and an old village.

Mooring
Anchor in one of the coves along the southern side of the bay and take a long line ashore. Mostly it is fairly deep so you will be dropping anchor in 8 - 15 metres (26 - 49 feet). The bottom is mostly sand, rock and stones and the holding is not the best so make sure your anchor is well stuck in. At the Pilloried Cove, anchor in 8 - 10 metres (26 - 33 feet) at the head of the cove with a line ashore.

Small Sarsala Cove
GPS : 36°39'28.5"N 28°51'29.1"E / 36.657923, 28.858081

On the southwest corner of the bay, there is small Sarsala Bay. It is protected and has good nature. Anchoring can be done at 8 - 15 meters here. Attention should be paid to shallowness with gravel and rocks in the off shore. A cove on the south beyond finger point is called  Küçük Sarsala Koyu. Boats can anchor on either side of it. At the head of the cove there is a cozy restaurant with a T pier that has laid moorings tailed to it.

Restaurant Quay
GPS : 36°39'24.1"N 28°51'24.4"E / 36.656688, 28.856783

This is one of the more popular coves of the region, it has a long gravel beach, mountains and tree covered plains. The most popular mooring place here is at Küçük (Small) Sarsala Cove where a restaurant is available on the quayside.

SIRALIBÜK (DERİN KOY) ANCHORAGE

Dalaman - Muğla - Turkey

GPS : 36°39'42.5"N 28°51'08.1"E / 36.661819, 28.852235



PHOTOGRAPHS ALBUM

This cove lies on the north of the point; Martı Burnu. It indents to the west. This cove is open to east. Strong westerlies push in swell. The bottom does not afford good holding. There are good depths, and the depths shelve ashore and ends with a shingle beach. Keep some distance off the shore and anchor in 15 m and take a line ashore.

There are two bights on the northern side. Care is needed for the isolated reefs while dropping the anchor. You can anchor fore-and-aft. Keep some distance off the shore, ease your chain as much as possible to avoid drifting. Prevailing winds send in swell. There is another bight on the north, it is wider. Large powerboats berth here. Attractive anchorage with its settings.

Among the old writers, only Pliny mentions this city. It is known that this city has not minted coins however it is mentioned in inscriptions. The walls in the Acropolis can be partially seen. On the south side of the walls there are some inscriptions, these are the inscriptions of dignity which date back to the period of Ptolemy II and III, in the 3rd century B.C. There is not much left other than the graves which can be seen between the city and the sea. However, there should have been private and official buildings like in other antique cities.

Another name of Sıralıbük located in the recess of Cape Martin at the north of Sarsala Quay is Martin Cove. The cove, surrounded by high mountains on all sides, is unified with pine trees on mountains. Anchoring is possible in any place within the Bük which has five beaches. Sailboats which come to the beach on one day in a week, build fires and have a pleasant time, only the recess in the south is an ideal anchoring point. However, Sirali Buk being exposed to the North, once the winds start blowing, is no more a safe anchoring place.

Sıralıbük (Derin Koy) lies a mile further north from Sarsala Cove. As the name suggests, depths in the several coves around the bay are considerable, and it will be necessary to drop in up to 20 metres when taking lines ashore to the bollards. There is a narrow inlet at the SE corner of the bay with oleanders growing at its head where a (now ruined) restaurant used to be. Here one can moor with care in idyllic surroundings in 12 - 15 metres with a line ashore, but the inlet is tiny and can only really accommodate two or three yachts.
