This gulf is NE of the island of [[Kos]] and the port of [[Bodrum]] and SE of the island of [[Samos]] and the port of [[Kusadasi]]. The gulf is home to scores of fish farms some of which  are poorly marked and would be confusing at night. They seem professionally run and there is little sign of pollution.

This gulf is NE of the island of Kos and the port of Bodrum and SE of the island of Samos and the port of Kusadasi. The gulf is home to scores of fish farms some of which are poorly marked and would be confusing at night. They seem professionally run and there is little sign of pollution.

Türk Bükü was originally called Rum Bükü and was Greek village. Today it is an attractive up market resort with lovely shops and restaurants surrounding a perfectly clear bay.

There is a small "marina" (tel +90 252 377 6128 /+90 536 899 2673 - Mehmet) in the South corner of the harbor (E$ 50/ night plus water & elec stern to with laid lines.

Note: The berths are located at the outer side of the mole where some crude-stones extend in places, so watch your rudder!

Fuel available by tanker truck at the marina. Fuel also available from a lighter that comes through the harbour. The marina also controls a number of fixed moorings in the harbour.

Other mooring services are offered on VHF69 tel +90 530 312 9966. Alternately, try to anchor among the moorings in the harbour or anchor moor in 30 metres with a line ashore to the rocks in the north west corner behind Bueyuek Ad. One of the prettiest harbours in the area.

Note: There is an unmarked, seemingly abandoned fish farm floating low in the water to the East of Kucuktavsan.

Anchorage icon Asin Liman [[Gulluk Korfesi#Asin Liman|Asin Liman]] 37°16.54′N, 27°34.96′E

Asin Liman (or Port Isene or Kuria or Kıyıkışlacık Liman) 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. Anchor moor to the quay if you can find space. Depths at the quay are a bit over over 2 meters but greater than 2.5 meters a couple of meters off. Water and electricity can be arranged on the quay. In season a local official will come by to collect 30tl. The bottom here is mud and provides good holding. Good shelter in the prevailing winds. Iassos used to be supplied with several good restaurants, there were two relatively modest ones in operation on a visit in June 2013.

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.

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 (Kaptan Han telephone: +90 252 565 0022) on the eastern side where there is space for 6-8 yachts with a mooring line (in which case you will obviously be expected to eat in the restaurant). The mooring weights are a bit close to the dock (18m) and anchor mooring is advised for larger boats. Depths are >3 metres alongside the pontoons. Watch for stray lines on backing in. Free water and electricity at the limited connections. Good protection from the meltemi. Other restaurants ashore.

Warning: There are a lot of mosquitos here.

Altinkum or Skrophes Bay or Karakuyu is a locality of a popular resort of Didim. It is a an excellent place to leave the yacht for a visit to Didyma. Anchor in the NW corner in 3-4 m on sand. Good holding and shelter from the meltemi. There is an English-speaking marina/dock manager who can provide tender-taxi service to the anchorage. Turkish sailors without a tender contacted this person who at the time had no tender available and he approached us to see if we could help the sailors (we did). There is a wall where we safely left the dinghy for two days. Use a small anchor to keep away from the wall.

Warning: The town is extremely noisy at night so anchor at some distance.

Places to Visit

Asin Liman
The Agora of ancient Iassos

A climb to the ancient fort of Iasos (or Iassus) is must. The city was founded by the Peloponnesians in about 900 BC.

Didyma

Didyma which is only about 4 km inland from Altinkum. The Hellenistic Ionic temple of Apollo at Didyma is very large, impressive, and in good preservation. Here was an oracle of Apollo, the most renowned in antiquity after the oracle of Delphi. A must see site.
