We were here for a couple of nights. I don’t know if the more up to date edition of the pilot book refers to it but they were pile driving in the anchorage. Perhaps it’s going to be a marina. We had to anchor more in the middle of the head of the bay to avoid the work. That meant we were anchored in 15m, which is deeper than we prefer. The weather was calm when we were there so it wasn’t a problem but the protection seemed fine anyway. It might have been a bit shallower ahead of the works. The town is very nice (at least it seemed like heaven after too many remote anchorages). You can land at the quay; there is a little Şok supermarket right there and also a mini Tansaş around at Küçüdeniz Limani (there are Tansaş signposts in the town). We also saw a garage on the edge of town. The town was alive with young men as it’s a military college/training area and it was the weekend but they were all very well behaved.

Anchored on the north side of the south harbour. Our guide says that the holding is mediocre but we found it to be good. It was blowing quite hard when we were there too. It was windier in the anchorage than it was out to sea.
