Marmaris (Port of entry)

Background

Marmaris [36° 50' N 28° 16' E] is a major yacht harbor in SE Turkey within a landlocked bay. It is very busy and noisy. The town was attractive but it has been overrun by rowdy englishmen. Fortunately the old town retains some of its older charm. It is surrounded however by the worst of sprawl with eating establishments catering to british tastes proudly advertising their non-turkish specialties such as: roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, fish & chips, and english breakfasts while broadcasting ear splitting rap "music". The Turkey I have grown to love has been displaced here. Even the wonderful Turkish ice-cream, dandurma, has been replaced by the insipid international brands. During the tourist season the beach is wall to wall raw human flesh with a very strong smell of sun tanning cream.

Approach and Navigation

It is best to approach Marmaris via the channel (Sark Boğazi) between Keçi Adasi to the W and Yildiz or Nimara Adasi to the E, staying in the middle of the channel.

Warning: There can be very strong gusts in Sark Boğazi when there is a strong southerly wind.

Check-in facilities

There are two marinas: the Nesel Marina, with all the amenities, and the municipal yacht quay. Also, it is possible, and much more quiet, to anchor off E of the harbor.

Just a few kilometers from Marmaris is the much quieter and very securer Marti Marina in the attractive [[Hisarönü Körfezi|Hisarönü Bay]. One can leave the yacht there and visit Marmaris.
