Fethiye - Gocek - Sea TV sailing in Turkey; where anchor? SeaTV channel

36°41.47′N 28°52.39′E – SEPA Marine Reserve Restricted Area (Zone A)

The very popular in high season Tomb bay (Tasyaka) is located 2 miles to the NW of Terasane and Domuz Adasi. Entrance to the bay is wide and deep, and there is good shelter within the bay from the prevailing winds coming in from the high land at the NW. On the shore of the N side there is a wall painting of a fish drawn in 1974 by artist Bedri Rahmi. On the steep cliffs of the bay there is a majestic tomb facade carved into the rock showing the influence of Greek culture, and some pigeonhole tombs, created by the historic Lycian people of the city-state Krya (Crya), which was located at the summit in ancient times.  It is thought that the city-state controlled two islands in the past (presumably Terasane and Domuz). The dramatic site and tombs are worth an exploration.

There are ample anchorages throughout the bay in depths mostly 5-10 m. Alternatively, there are a couple of T-shaped piers and tie-in jetties near the 2 restaurants to the W of the bay allowing customers bow or stern-to docking in 2-4 m depths.

To the SW side off the mouth of the bay, behind an islet that is easily identified from a distance, there is a cove where anchoring is possible at 5-20 m depth with a line out to shore. There is easy passage into the cove N of the islet, as well as from the S between the islet and the mainland (baring a few rocks on the W side).
