Check-in facilities
| There are no moorings here and you will have to anchor in 3-4 m and come stern-to the quay.
Dikili is a designated port of entry. Here, however, there is no marina or an agent to help you with the formidable, but friendly, bureaucracy which seems to be dispersed all over the town. Best to avoid them. Routes/Passages To/FromPopular passages/routes, timing, etc. |  Click for larger view |

Personal Notes
We checked out of Turkey one hot Sunday from Dikili. It took us over 4 frustrating hours chasing various officials throughout the town. They did not seem to be familiar with yachts. Better go to Ayvalik if you can. --Istioploos 09:31, 20 June 2008 (MDT)
