Anchorages
Çiftlik
Çiftlik is a protected cove about 14 nM SW from Marmaris. There are several seaside restaurants here serving good food. You can either anchor off at the northern end of the bay (good holding but subject to uncomfortable swell most of the time) or tie up to one of the four restaurant jetties.
Most of the restaurants have laid moorings tailed to the jetty, water, electricity, toilets/showers and free WiFi (enquire before mooring up if any of these is important to you). The restarant on the extreme east is rather smarter and more expensive than the others. Mehmet Place has water/electricity and wiFi and is more in line with budget cruising.Gerbeske
Serçe Liman
Serçe Liman is about 2 nM E of Loryma and 14 nM W of Marmaris. It is an excellent all weather anchorage and very well protected. It is hard to find because its entrance is a narrow opening surrounded by high cliffs.
In Serçe Liman the wreck of an 11th century Byzantine ship with a lot of glassware was found and excavated by the father of Underwater Archaeology, George Bass. The glassware is now exhibited at the Bodrum underwater museum. After the excavation was over, Osman was left as a guard of the site. Being enterprising he started catering to visiting yachts. Osman's restaurant, which closed a few years ago, was on the west side of the cove. This appears to have closed down now.
Another restaurant, Captain Nemo's Farm, has been established on the east side of the inlet. The restaurant has 16 laid moorings. Since the cove is fairly deep it is worth accepting a mooring, but you must also set a shore line. Captain Nemo's has small boats that will meet you and assist you. Make sure, though that your boat is secured and do not rely on the restaurant people 100%. Needless to say, if you take one of the moorings, you are expected to eat in the restaurant. The food and service is good however.
You can also anchor on the deep W side of the cove. The holding at 6-10 m is good but you should also take a line to the rocks.Loryma
Loryma or Bozuk Bükü or Aplotheka is a pleasant anchorage with several coves protected from the meltemi. Overlooking the coves is a large very well preserved Hellenistic castle overlooking the sea. Here the Athenian fleet was sheltered during the Peloponnesian War before the battle of Knidos. Also, in the third century BC, Demetrios Poliorkites assembled a large fleet here for his unsuccessful siege of Rhodes.
Today there are several restaurants competing for the yacht business by offering you their laid moorings.
You can either accept one of the restaurants' mooring or anchor off-shore at 8-10 m. The bottom is weed and you should look for a patch of sand to drop the anchor.
Warning: Loryma is open to any wind with the exception of predominant meltemi. However, even with the meltemi, the winds may gust suddenly from any direction inside the bay (usually around midnight)twice or three times as much than it is outside the bay because of the valleys ascending from various corners of the bay and high mountains.This is frequent in the month of August.Sögüt
Sögüt is a large bay that provides an all around shelter. A restaurant has a wooden pier which is available to tie a line. Anchor in 12-14 m.
The restaurant also provides excellent water.Cove E of Atabol Burun
This is an attractive uninhabited cove but exposed to the S and subject to uncomfortable swell.
Anchor is 7 m on a sandy spot.Amenities
