Çökertme
GPS: 36°59.8′N, 27°47.5′E - Chartlet
Çökertme also known as Fesiliyen Koyu or Vasilika. It is an attractive cove but is subject to strong gusts. Anchor in 2-5 m. The bottom is sand and weed and there could be a problem with holding, so take a line ashore. Alternatively, pick up a laid mooring on one of the restaurant pontoons.
When we were there there was a very basic eatery presided by the colorful "Captain Ibrahim" who looked straight out of pirate movie.

Offshore Islands
Sehir Adalari
GPS: 36°59.7′N, 28°12.5′E
Sehir Adalari or Shehir Oghlan or Snake and Castle Island was known in antiquity as Kedreai. The beach on west of the island was known as "Cleopatra's Beach." It was believed to have been made with sand transported from Egypt by Mark Anthony especially for Cleopatra. Today there many ruins and walking around the island is pleasure.
Anchor on the E side in 5-10 m in the middle of the bay or in shallower water and take a line ashore. The bottom is sand and weed and provides good holding especially if you avoid the weed.
There is a restaurant ashore. Danger: Watch out for the submerged ancient mole in the NE point.
Warning: The wind direction is liable to change in the evening from N to NE.
