Antalya

Set deep inside the bay, the harbour provides calm approaches and city-front berths within walking distance of supplies and transport.

Cruising is day-sail style—west toward Kemer’s coast and anchorages under the Taurus, or east along more open stretches toward Alanya.

This is a micro-tidal area: wind and pressure drive sea level and sea state; summer brings reliable sea-breezes and occasional northerly Aegean-style pulses.

Approaches see frequent ferry/commercial movements, so plan channel crossings early and keep a continuous VHF watch.

As a base, Antalya combines a "city" marina, the historic Kaleiçi harbour for short stopovers, and larger technical facilities within an hour along the coast.
