Asin Limanı, Güllük Körfezi, west coast of Turkey

N37°16.51 E027°34.91
(August 2009)

Free anchored or anchored and tied back just inside the entrance on the west side. Holding good once pulled well into the soft mud. Shelter good. The afternoon wind consistently came from the south when we were here. We liked it here. Small village with a couple of shops for essentials and the usual restaurant/cafes. Apparently there is an hourly dolmuş to the town of Milas (journey time 45 minutes, cost TL5). The ruins of ancient Iassus are at the foot of the hill and on the top is the fort built by the Knights of St John. The archaeologists are still excavating at both sites. No entrance charge. A lovely site – middle of August and we virtually had the place to ourselves. There is also a quay wall where you can med moor. There are locked boxes on the quay that look like they contain a water supply but not sure about electric.
