Ports and Popular Stops
Siğacik
GPS: 38°11.8′N, 26°47′E
Siğacik is a former fishing harbor which is in the process of being converted into a full service, 400-berth marina. Currently (September 2009), the entire inner harbour is closed while the marina infrastructure is completed and only the small, outer fishing boat harbour is open. The marina is due for opening in 2010, but in the meantime it is necessary if visiting Sigacik to anchor in the bay outside, where there is a good sheltered anchorage west of the small boat moorings and just east of a fish farm. Once completed, the marina will provide a safe place to leave the boat and visit nearby ancient Teos. Danger: Do not pass between Esek Adasi and the mainland. It is too shallow. Also on the N side of Esek Adasi there is a reef. Give it a wide berth. Last Visited & Details Checked (and updated here)Date of member's visit to this Port/Stop & this page's details validated:

Anchorages
Siğacik Bay
It is possible to anchor off in the bay.
Körmen Adasi
GPS: 38°01.6′N, 26°52.2′E
There is a snug anchorage just east of Körmen Adasi where you can anchor in 5 meters in sand and weed. Shelter is good from the meltemi, although the anchorage is open to the south. It is a convenient stop when planning to cross the gulf of Sigacik and avoids the usual slog to windward up to Sigacik or Teos when cruising along this coast.

Teos Liman
Gökkovar Liman
There are two anchorages: North Creek
Kirdilim LimanGPS: 38°08′N, 26°34.3′E
This is a large and very pleasant, deserted cove, with very clear waters. It provides very good shelter from the meltemi. In the middle of the cove there is large buoy where a Turkish patrol boat ties up sometimes. Go to the NW end of the cove and anchor in 7 m, good holding. Warning: Do not tie to the large buoy, it is used by the Turkish patrol boats.
