Datça (Port of entry)
GPS: 36°43.3′N, 27°41.5′E
Background
Datça used to be a pleasant harbor of a sleepy provincial town. In the last few years it has grown to a booming resort with high-rise buildings, bars, and extremely noisy discos. Sleeping in the harbor is problematical due to the cacophony of many competing discos and bars. Still it is a fairly convenient port of entry and exit.
There are several anchorages along the way from Datça to Cape Krio.
Charts
- BA 1055 Rhodes Channel and Gökova Körfezi
- Imray-Tetra G35 Dodecanese and Coast of Turkey
- NIMA 54400 Samos to Rodhos
- Turkey 311 Marmaris - Fethiye
- Turkey 3112 E) Datça Limanı
- Greek 451 Leros to Rhodos
Radio Nets
Also see Cruiser's Nets
- No GSM/GPRS in Kalaboshi Cove
Approaches to the region are straightforward but,
Danger: There are fierce gusts of Cape Krio and along the steep slopes to Datça.
Check-in facilities
It is possible to anchor off-shore in either the South or North Bay which would provide some protection from the noise. The marina in the South Bay is well attended and the attendant will show you where to dock. You have to drop an anchor and come stern-to.
