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). | + | [[Image:LapsekiEntrance.jpg|thumb|310px|right| Entrance to Lapseki<br />''Click for larger view'']] |
