Keçi Bükü
This lovely bay is dominated by the large Marti Marina. Call ahead on channel 73. You will be met by a Joker boat at the entrance of the marina and shown to berth. The marina provides all the services.
In addition to Marti Marina you can moor for free (provided you eat there) at the dock of Zuhal's Restaurant (just 1 nM N of Marti) and at Kadirs Restaurant at the SW tip of the bay. There are also three other restaurants at the southern end of the inlet, all with jetties, laid moorings, water and electricity and even (in some cases) free wifi.
Also you can anchor behind the little island with the Byzantine fort.
Danger: Watch out for the very shallow region on the SE end of the bay.
Bencik Liman
There are many places to anchor in this deep heavily wooded bay. You will have to anchor fairly deeply in 6-10 m. The holding is good on mud and weed, but the water is murky so that you cannot see the bottom. Take a line to a tree to minimize swinging and interfering with other boats.
At the N end of the bay there is a river which leads to a fancy combining/hotel while in the E side there is another private summer resort known as the "Solar Research Station." Sharks have been reported but I have not seen one.
Warning: Care must be taken entering the bay because of reefs and shallow areas. Study your chart carefully.
Büyük Cati
Büyük Cati is totally land locked cove, surrounded by pine trees, and it is very calm although the water is kind of murky. It is a lovely place almost unreal. Anchor in 4 m, good holding. It is best to take a stern line to a tree.
To the E of Büyük Cati there is a smaller cove, Kuçuk Cati, also very nice.
