Asin Liman or Port Isene or Kuria is an ancient harbor (formerly Iasos) in the almost landlocked Asin Körfezi. It a pleasant anchorage surrounded by the ruins of the ancient city and overlooked by a walled acropolis. The quay is supplied with laid moorings (although on a visit here in May 2010 they were almost all occupied by fishing boats --[[User:Atheneoflymington|Athene of Lymington]] 18:49, 12 May 2010 (UTC)). Anchor moor to the quay if you can find space.  Depths at the quay are around 3-4 meters.  Water and electricity can be arranged on the quay. The bottom here is mud and provides good holding. Good shelter in the prevailing winds.  Iassos used to be supplied with several good restuarants, although only one rather modest one was in operation on a visit in May 2010.

Shiero Bay is almost landlocked and is an excellent shelter from the ''meltemi''. It is very pleasant, with pine trees, except for the encroaching "holiday village." anchor in 6-8 m over mud. Good holding.

A large bay with several mooring possibilities in very pleasant wooded surroundings. Either anchor in 5-7 m over sand or go on the wooden restaurant jetty on the eastern side where there is space for 3-4 yachts on an anchor moor (in which case you will obviously be expected to eat in the restaurant). Good protection from the ''meltemi''.  Other restaurants ashore.

GPS: 37°16.5′N, 27°35′E
Asin Liman or Port Isene or Kuria is an ancient harbor (formerly Iasos) in the almost landlocked Asin Körfezi. It a pleasant anchorage surrounded by the ruins of the ancient city and overlooked by a walled acropolis. The quay is supplied with laid moorings (although on a visit here in May 2010 they were almost all occupied by fishing boats --Athene of Lymington 18:49, 12 May 2010 (UTC)). Anchor moor to the quay if you can find space. Depths at the quay are around 3-4 meters. Water and electricity can be arranged on the quay. The bottom here is mud and provides good holding. Good shelter in the prevailing winds. Iassos used to be supplied with several good restuarants, although only one rather modest one was in operation on a visit in May 2010.

Danger: The ancient breakwater is submerged and not always visible. The approach should be made some 15-20 meters off the old Byzantine tower on the starboard side.

Warning: With strong southerlies the anchorage is uncomfortable and may be dangerous.
