[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mürefte Mürefte] or Myriophyton (Greek: Μυριόφυτο is a relatively new harbour constructed on the north coast of the [[Sea of Marmara]], 22 miles SW of [[Tekirdag]] and 50 miles NW of [[Canakkale|Çanakkale]]. The harbour is a useful port of refuge along the relatively poorly supplied north coast of the Sea of Marmara, but unfortunately is run by a fishermen’s co-operative which seems to regard foreign yachtsmen as a golden opportunity for exploitation. In settled weather, a yacht is better off anchoring in the lee of the harbour just SW of the breakwater and, in unsettled weather, anchoring in the harbour itself away from the quays.  Shelter in the harbour is good from the prevailing winds, but it is completely open to the SW.

Winds along the north coast of the Sea of Marmara are generally from N/NE, which can give some excellent sailing in flat water between the [[Dardanelles]] and [[Istanbul]]. Winds tend to be at their strongest in mid to late afternoon.

Entrance to Murefte

Mürefte or Myriophyton (Greek: Μυριόφυτο is a relatively new harbour constructed on the north coast of the Sea of Marmara, 22 miles SW of Tekirdag and 50 miles NW of Çanakkale. The harbour is a useful port of refuge along the relatively poorly supplied north coast of the Sea of Marmara, but unfortunately is run by a fishermen’s co-operative which seems to regard foreign yachtsmen as a golden opportunity for exploitation. In settled weather, a yacht is better off anchoring in the lee of the harbour just SW of the breakwater and, in unsettled weather, anchoring in the harbour itself away from the quays. Shelter in the harbour is good from the prevailing winds, but it is completely open to the SW.
