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)
