Serçe Liman is about 2 nM E of Loryma and 14 nM W of [[Marmaris]]. It is an excellent all weather anchorage and very well protected. It is hard to find because its entrance is a narrow opening surrounded by high cliffs.

GPS: 36°34.66′N, 28°03.04′E
Serçe Liman is about 2 nM E of Loryma and 14 nM W of Marmaris. It is an excellent all weather anchorage and very well protected. It is hard to find because its entrance is a narrow opening surrounded by high cliffs.

In Serçe Liman the wreck of an 11th century Byzantine ship with a lot of glassware was found and excavated by the father of Underwater Archaeology, George Bass. The glassware is now exhibited at the Bodrum underwater museum. After the excavation was over, Osman was left as a guard of the site. Being enterprising he started catering to visiting yachts. Osman's restaurant, it closed few years ago, was on W of the cove but now there is also another restaurant on the E.

Like in Loryma, the restaurant has laid moorings. Because the cove is fairly deep it is worth accepting a mooring, but you must also set a shore line. The restaurant has small boats that will meet you and assist you. Make sure, though that your boat is secured and do not rely on the restaurant people 100%.

You can also anchor on the deep W side of the cove. The holding at 6-10 m is good but you should also take a line to the rocks.

GPS: 36°34.1′N, 28°01.1′E
Loryma or Bozuk Bükü or Aplotheka is a pleasant anchorage with several coves protected from the meltemi. Overlooking the coves is a large very well preserved Hellenistic castle overlooking the sea. Here the Athenian fleet was sheltered during the Peloponnesian War before the battle of Knidos. Also, in the third century BC, Demetrios Poliorkites assembled a large fleet here for his unsuccessful siege of Rhodes.

Today there are several restaurants competing for the yacht business by offering you their laid moorings.

You can either accept one of the restaurants' mooring or anchor off-shore at 8-10 m. The bottom is weed and you should look for a patch of sand to drop the anchor.
