Turkey
– Get away from it all ...meet the orient!
 Turkey
A land of fantastic contrasts, where occident
meets orient, where the ancient world competes with the modern world, where ethnic
groups (such as the Hethites, Persians, Macedonians, Romans, Byzantines and Ottomans)
had come and gone. After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, Ataturk founded the
Turkish Republic. Today, Turkey is one of the most popular destinations for water
sportsmen. The coastline between Cesme and Antalya offers more bays and islands
for anchoring, relaxing, lazing around and bathing than the summer has days for
vacation. You could cruise around in this area without ever having to anchor at
the same anchorage – there is always something new and different to be discovered.
Pleasant bathing temperature can already be expected in May until October. Modern
marinas and a very good infrastructure assure a supply without problems. Enjoy
the diversity of the area and be impressed by the people´s unadulterated
hospitality

We`d recommend to get to Turkey by plane. There are charter and scheduled flights
from all German airports to Izmir, Dalaman or Antalya. We are also prepared to
arrange your transport from the airport to the marina and vice versa. Here is
a tip for you if you would like to arrange the transport yourself: rent a car
from the airport to the marina – this is relatively cheap. There are, of
course, taxis at all airports at your disposal. But remember not to forget to
ask for the price beforehand.

over to you in which you will find the description of the marina as well as your
