The new harbour of Lapseki lies on the S shore of the Dardanelles, directly opposite the harbour of Gelibolu three miles W of the entrance to the Sea of Marmara. The harbour is a purpose-built fishing and small craft harbour enclosed by two breakwaters.

Since its completion, the harbour of Gelibolu has been closed to yachts, which are now expected to moor in Lapseki. However, note that Lapseki is shallow and has minimum depths in the entrance of barely 3.0 metres.

Approach and Navigation

Entrance to Lapseki - Click for larger view

The new harbour lies half a mile N of the ferry terminal of Lapseki, which is easily identifiable from the numerous ferries plying the route across to Gelibolu on the N side of the straits. The harbour entrance is marked by two white light structures at the ends of the breakwaters and is entered from NNW along the line of a long sandy beach. The channel leading into the harbour is subject to silting and had least depths in May 2011 of about 3.0 metres with one patch of just 2.6 metres. Once inside, the bottom is uneven and depths range from 3.0 – 4.0 metres in the western part (the eastern part is shallow).

Berthing Options

There is a quay at the E end of the harbour, but this is invariably filled with local fishing boats, often rafted two or three deep.

Personal Note
