Posted on behalf of Magic Pelagic:
September 2015 - Kas and Kekova.
Two of us went for 10 days, our boat is based in Kas and we wanted to do paddle boarding and also have some peace at anchor. Karaloz is a favourite of ours, a little small for paddle boarding but ideal for peace and tranquility - however it was plagued with wasps. At one point we were trapped in the boat for two hours at dawn.
After the first night, we decided to try Gokkaya Limani and had a lovely time. There is lots of anchorage space and many little corners and coves that you can have mostly to yourself. Good holding in thick mud, the water is a little cloudy, but it is due to a spring and patches of cold water, very refreshing.
We hired paddle boards from Seven Cape Sports, Dean Livesly, an ex-pat, delivered them to the boat at Kas and collected them from there after we left. A great service and we discovered he does kayak tours and walking tours on the Lycian Way.
We called into Ucagiz to empty the tank after reading a cruising association post that said they had a pump out facility. They don't have a facility for yachts, the area where the pump operates is approx 1m or so deep in the inner basin of the marina.
Visited the castle at Kale Koy and stayed over at Hassan Deniz restaurant, they have 3m at the outer end and about 2m at the top if you are the first boat in. Decent food and very clean.
