Ports and Popular Stops
Siğacik
38°11.8′N, 26°47′E
Siğacik is a former fishing harbor which is in the process of being converted into a full service, 400-berth marina. Currently (September 2009), the entire inner harbour is closed while the marina infrastructure is completed and only the small, outer fishing boat harbour is open. The marina is due for opening in 2010, but in the meantime it is necessary if visiting Sigacik to anchor in the bay outside, where there is a good sheltered anchorage west of the small boat moorings and just east of a fish farm.
Once completed, the marina will provide a safe place to leave the boat and visit nearby ancient Teos.
Danger: Do not pass between Esek Adasi and the mainland. It is too shallow. Also on the N side of Esek Adasi there is a reef. Give it a wide berth.

Anchorages
Siğacik Bay
It is possible to anchor off in the bay.
Körmen Adasi
38°01.6′N, 26°52.2′E
There is a snug anchorage just east of Körmen Adasi where you can anchor in 5 meters in sand and weed. Shelter is good from the meltemi, although the anchorage is open to the south. It is a convenient stop when planning to cross the gulf of Sigacik and avoids the usual slog to windward up to Sigacik or Teos when cruising along this coast.

Teos Liman
38°08.9′N, 26°47.9′E
You can anchor on the S side of the anchorage in 5-6 m over sand. It provides reasonable shelter from the meltem but it is totally exposed to S winds.
Danger: Give a wide berth to the reefs near the point to the W.

Gökkovar Liman
Click for larger view
Gökkovar Liman is a deep fjord about 2 nM NE of Teke Burnu. It is an incredible beautiful anchorage but has been spoiled by at least 5 fish farms that have sprouted in the past few years. They use high intensity lights, and there are large ships loading, I presume the fish. In other words the place has been raped and ruined.
There are two anchorages:
North Creek
Click for larger view
This is the most protected anchorage but it is now less attractive because of the fish farms. It is best to drop the anchor in about 15 m depth (good holding) and to take a line from the bow to the E shore.
East Creek
This anchorage is deep and only one or two boats can be accommodated. Try to anchor in 10 m and possibly take a line ashore. The holding here is less reliable than in the North Creek.

Kirdilim Liman

 Detailed Chart of Kirdilim Anchorage |
This is a large and very pleasant, deserted cove, with very clear waters. It provides very good shelter from the meltemi. In the middle of the cove there is large buoy where a Turkish patrol boat ties up sometimes. Go to the NW end of the cove and anchor in 7 m, good holding.
Warning: Do not tie to the large buoy, it is used by the Turkish patrol boats.

Sarpede Liman
38°10.5′N, 26°30.7′E
Sarpede Liman is a bay about 1 nM NW of Kirdilim Liman. There are three anchorages: Sarpede West Creek ( 38°11.16′N, 26°31.04′E), East Creek ( 38°10.92′N, 26°31.24′E), and Nerkis ( 38°10.14′N, 26°31.13′E) E of the bay entrance. Sarpede has to coves, the W creek is used by a religious camp who have built ugly concrete blocks and is less then attractive while the E cove is more attractive but it is dominated by large high tension power lines which spoil its natural beauty. Nerkis is much more attractive and isolated, but with a strong meltemi it can develop a very uncomfortable swell.

Mersin Körfesi
38°12.1′N, 26°26.3′E
This is a large enclosed bay SE of Agriler Liman.
Alaçati Bay or Agriler Liman
38°14.5′N, 26°23.2′E
A large bay 7.5 M from Ak Burun. It is reputed to be the windsurfing capital of Turkey because it is very windy. On the NW side there is a new small shipyard and a marina.
At the head of the bay there is dredged canal with several upscale houses with private piers.
The old town of Alaçati, the Greek Αλάτσατα (Alátsata), about 2 km inland has now been totally restored and wealthy people from Istanbul and Izmir have bought the old houses paying outrageous prices. It is well worth a visit.
Danger: Follow the channel marked by the buoys because of very shallow water especially to the W.
