The formalities can also be completed at Setur Cesme Marina by visiting officials.
Docking
The Camper & Nicholson marina – IC Cesme Marina – in the center of Cesme provides excellent facilities and the Setur Cesme marina, on the opposite side of the peninsula, provides fully serviced berths. There is another marina at Port Alacati, about 15NM south of Cesme.
It is possible to anchor off the town, however, it is difficult to find a spot protected from the N/NW wind. There are also a few forbidden zones in this harbor.

It may be possible to come stern-to the town quay (Med-moor using your own anchor), which gets busy with gulets and charter boats. Speak with the Harbor Master. There is no electricity here, but water can be delivered by tanker. The city is working on getting shore power and water to the quay. The town quay is better protected from Northerly winds but offers little protection from Southerly ones. If the wind blows hard from the South it is advisable to move to anchor in the middle of the bay or to a protected bay south of the harbor. There are several good anchorages in the area.
Waste Removal:
