East of Antalya

The area east of Antalya stretches east along the Turkish Mediterranean coast, taking in a long and largely undeveloped coastline backed by the Taurus Mountains. The coast beyond Antalya sees relatively little yacht traffic.

In Antalya city, Kaleiçi, the old quarter above the harbour, contains the main points of interest within walking distance. Hadrian's Gate, a triple-arched triumphal arch built in 130 AD, marks the landward entrance to the district. The Hıdırlık Tower on the seaward edge overlooks the harbour entrance, while the 13th-century Yivli Minare is the most visible landmark from the water.

Winds on this stretch are generally lighter than those to the west. Yacht services are available in Antalya but largely absent further east.

Anchorages

Tisan ★ 3.7 Anchoring conditions are generally favorable with around 4 meters of depth in sand, providing good shelter. Swell can make for a rolly experience in the afternoon. Reports of environmental concerns and construction impacts on the nearby shore may be associated with the location.

There are currently too few reports on yacht clearance for this part of Turkey. If you clear in here, please add any missing clearance markers and a short review to help others.
