Alibey (opposite Ayvalik, west coast of Turkey

Good holding and protection but the locals charge TL30 a night for anchoring within the harbour. Most yachts anchor outside the harbour, off the restaurants, where you don’t incur the charge. Alibey is probably a charming little place but it was alive with tourists and the noise and hustle bustle was all a bit much after the quiet of the north. There are a couple of convenience stores and apparently there’s a ferry service to Ayvalik.
