Datça (Port of entry)
Background
Datça [36° 44'N 027° 41'E] 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.

- 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.

Anchorages
Cove East of Kalaboshi
A pleasant enough cove [36° 40.8' N 27° 36.9' E] about 2 nM E of Kalaboshi. Anchor in 7 m, good holding. It is safe from the meltemi but a strong and possibly uncomfortable swell enters the cove.
Warning: There are many bees here, and they bite.
Knidos
Knidos or Büyük Liman [36° 41'N 027° 23'E] is a nice anchorage off Cape Krio. It is usually crowded but the extensive archaeological site is a "must see" place. This was a place sacred to Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. Here was the statue of Aphrodite by Praxiteles that was famous throughout the ancient world. It was not been found.
Anchor off-shore and if possible take a line ashore to one of the restaurant piers. Make sure the anchor is well set because of the gusts.
Offshore Islands
Baba Adasi
A pleasant enough anchorage [36° 39.7' N 27° 30.4' E]. Anchor in 7 m, good holding. It is safe from the meltemi.
Warning: There are many bees here, and they bite.
