| There are a plethora of beautiful anchorages
along the south coast of Turkey, but none in which you would want to spend
the winter. The best source for anchorages and marinas is the Imray
Turkey and Cyprus Pilot.
Marmaris Bay has anchorages all around the perimeter of
the bay, and several marinas available for foreign yachts. Entry to
the bay is normally through the center channel between the islands. |

that runs once a day during the winter or twice in the summer, but it
does not run in rough weather. There is a dolmus stop at the
marina gate.

Frequent power outages in winter storms.
The marina does have a generator which sometimes supplies service to the
docks.

LOTS of mosquitoes both in summer and
winter. The library and nearby toilet block have "clouds" of
mosquitoes.
