Anchored and tied back to rock. Cold spring at the shoreline right behind us. Lycian Way walk around the shoreline is marked by red and white stripes on the rocks. There’s a cave to explore at the nearby island (Ashil Adası).

Polemos Bükü, Kekova, south coast of Turkey

Good holding and shelter. Land at the head of the inlet (restaurants here) for a pleasant walk and a sunken sarcophagus photo op.

Wall Bay, Skopea Limanı, south coast of Turkey

Hmmmmm, lovely! Good holding and shelter (anchored and tied back to the orange bollards), nice water for swimming, a peaceful and enjoyable bay. We walked around the coast from here back towards Sarsala Iskelesı, along the path with the red and green dots again. Just walk past the restaurant jetty and along the shoreline until you pick up the dots. We saw something skipping along the rocks here; it had a bushy red tail – could it have been a red squirrel, do you get them here?
Also did the dot to dot walk in the opposite direction towards Ruin Bay.

Boynüz Bükü, Skopea Limanı. South coast of Turkey
N36°42.80 E028°53.87
(October 2009)
We anchored and tied back to orange bollards. Several boats were free anchored here but it’s very deep. The holding was good. There’s a restaurant pontoon at the head with water available (quite expensive to eat at the restaurant though). We were driven away from here by the hoards of mozzies and man-eating flies.

Göcek, south coast of Turkey
N36°45.24 E028°56.13
(October 2009)
We anchored in front of Skopea Marina. The holding was very good. The wind tends to blow right into Göcek making the anchorage a bit bouncy at times. We landed at the municipal marina (go between the two pontoons and there’s a concrete wall at the head) but the wall is quite rough. There’s a handy rubbish skip just to the right. Our preferred landing spot was on the beach to the right of Skopea Marina. Göcek is a bit touristy/yachty but still pleasant. The shopping is good as the several supermarkets and good selection of chandlers are all close together.

Pilloried Cove, Sarsala Iskelesı, Skopea Limanı, south coast of Turkey
N36°39.52 E028°51.20
(October 2009)
Anchored and tied back to orange bollards. Good holding. It would have been a quiet spot except that we were moored amongst a row of 80 foot motor yachts. The head of Sarsala Iskelesı on the north side is buoyed off for swimming. There’s a little wooden building there that might be a café.
There’s a great walk from Pilloried Cove. Land at the foreshore (don’t be put off by the bushes coming right to the edge), cut through the bushes, walk about 50 metres in, turn left and follow the green and red dots. It takes you up and around the headland towards Wall Bay. Lovely views of Skopea Limanı from the top.

Tersane Creek, Tersane Adası, Skopea Limanı, south coast of Turkey
N36°40.53 E028°54.85
(September 2009)
This was the first time we’d come across the orange bollards (and mooring rings) common in the area. In Göcek town we saw information signs stating that if you moored to trees you would be fined.
Anchored and tied back on the west side. Holding and shelter good. On first glance this seems like a very busy tight spot and we nearly turned away at the entrance. Actually, there were several spaces and room to turn around at the head if there really wasn’t any room. This is a gulet stop on their ‘12 islands’ tours but most only stay for about half an hour. There is a restaurant pontoon at the head of the creek. A popular and pleasant spot.
