- The marina entrance is oriented NE - the direction of the prevailing wind - and entry is challenging in strong winds from this direction. --Athene of Lymington 20:24, 7 June 2011 (BST)
- Marina is ok but a bit of a shambles as docks are littered with boat equipment and dinghies. Water is disgusting, flotsam everywhere, jellyfish and scum. Marina staff are friendly and helpful but inefficient – you must walk 200 metres to the accounting office to pay your charges. The local agent charged us E150 to adjust our Trip log to reflect new crew. Restaurants are plentiful and attractive but some are a complete rip off – wines are universally expensive – nothing less than 50TL (as much as 6 times retail), and the waiters are glibly recommending wines without mentioning the 400TL cost. Elios and Balikcr were particularly bad. Invariably, they would only have one bottle of the reasonably priced items. After being told this at the Balikcr restaurant, we walked by a display of 5 bottles of the wine they had said was “finished”. Balikcr had a great setting at the end of the mole but served us some deep fried Turbot that was off. Kazan Carlis a restaurant on the upper level was quite good. Not a great marina but convenient to a great city. We remembered the foul water at Port Liberty on the Hudson in Manhattan and this was no worse. --Monterey May 2013
