Canakkale - General Info
Description:
Located at the western end of the Dardanelles, this port is the best stop for visiting Troy and Gallipoli. There is good shopping for provisions and good medical care, plus the bars and restaurants on the promenade are the perfect spot to have some Turkish tea and watch the sunset over the Dardanelles. This is a lively university town.
Cruiser Highlights:
Gateway to historic sites of Gallipoli and Troy; small yacht marina; laid moorings; washing machine; fuel; good provisioning; many sights of interest.
Entrance Notes and Cautions:
There is a green buoy (cone shape) at the entrance which marks shallows.
Berthing is stern or bows-to using a laid mooring. If the Meltemi is blowing, berthing here can be tricky although the marineros do assist with their dinghy.
Position:
40° 09.27’N, 26° 24.34’E (marina entrance)

HI..Any idea, where is marina for 40 to 50 meter yacht can be berthing and do a Transit Log. vessel will come from south of CANAKKALE
I suggest you speak with the marina. If they can’t accommodate a yacht your size they can probably assist with speaking with the commercial quay next door. It is possible to renew a transit log with the harbormaster here. Do let us know how you get on so we can add the information to Noonsite. Thanks.http://canakkalebelediyesimarina.com/[email protected]://www.facebook.com/ckalebelediye
