Cruising Turkey: when to go and where to anchor
Best time
The cruising season runs from May to October. July and August bring temperatures exceeding 35°C, fresh afternoon meltemi winds, and the highest concentration of yachts. May, June, September, and October offer milder weather between 22°C and 28°C with lighter breezes and quieter bays. Sea temperatures remain comfortable for swimming through late October, while midsummer delivers the most reliable sailing winds across open stretches between the peninsulas.
Practical tips
- Yachts cruising Turkish waters must carry a valid transit log and use a registered Blue Card system to track waste pump-outs at coastal stations.
- Provisioning is straightforward in hub ports like Bodrum, Göcek, and Fethiye, where large supermarkets routinely coordinate direct deliveries to the quay.
- Dress respectfully when going ashore in smaller coastal villages or visiting historical sites, and respect designated swimming areas marked in quiet bays.
Anchorages to know
- Tomb Bay (Taşyaka)Located in the Gulf of Fethiye, this sheltered cove features Lycian rock tombs cut into the cliffs and offers secure mooring using lines taken ashore.
- BozburunA quiet village harbour sheltered by outlying islands, providing deep, protected anchorages along the Datça and Bozburun peninsulas.
- KnidosPositioned at the tip of the Datça Peninsula, this natural harbour allows anchoring within ancient basins adjacent to Hellenistic ruins.
- Gemiler IslandSituated south of Fethiye, this island offers calm overnight anchorage in the lee of Byzantine ruins and coastal walking trails.
