Palamut Mesudiye and bays of Ovabuku, Hayitbuku & Kizilbuk Mesudiye and bays of Ovabuku, Hayitbuku & Kizilbuk Pronounce: mes-oo-d-ya 3 Summary Mesudiye is a small village located in Muğla Province in the Aegean region of Turkey. It is located on the Datça Peninsula where the Mediterranean embraces the Aegean Sea. The population of the village is about 700. Mezgit is a part of the Mesudiye village and is home to around 100 families. It is located 200 meters above sea level and has wonderful views over the sea and the Greek island of Tilos. An olive oil mill is located in the center of the village, known as "Mezgit Mengen" by the locals. The mill has been completely renovated and all original details have been preserved. Reviews Guardian review: Ovabuku is the prettiest in a chain of three bays, along with Hayitbuku and Kizilbuk. The beach is a relatively small stretch of creamy shingle, backed by a cluster of small restaurants and pensions, while the countryside around has a lush beauty; pine forests mixed with oak, myrtle and carob trees. It's not the beach itself that makes this such a fantastic find, it's the whole package: peace, authenticity and a real sense of escape. 4 Datca Error! Reference source not found. Hisarönü Error! Reference source not found. Bozburun Hisarönü Pronounce: hiss-ah-oh-noo Summary The Gulf of Hisarönu reminds of a north European fjord with its thick fir tree forests. Hisarönu means fortress, and the gulf is dotted with ancient and medieval forts. The long thin gulf is bordered by the high, craggy mountains of the Dorian promontory on the north and the Greek island of Simi on the south. Reviews Hisaronu Bay has two small beaches that look out towards the Datca peninsula. Behind the beach lies the kind of resort that feels like Turkey 20 years ago; a clutch of restaurants and simple pensions dotted along quiet country lanes. 5 Orhaniye 6 Admin Transfers 1 hour 55 mins, 103km Sunrise 05:50, Sunset 20.20 Supermarkets Kipa (Tesco), Migros, Tansas AM Lunch Afternoon Evening Saturday Arrive, drinks Sunday Shopping, briefing, Sail to Bozuk Buku Sail to Bozuk Dan leave (6 hours) Buku/Lorymer Monday Explore the ruins Lunch on island Sail to Knidos Explore Sail to Ano Symi island Tuesday Datca/bay of hisaronu Wed Hisaronu Thur Hisaronu Fri Torunk Buku Sat Drop boat at 9am 7 Bareboat Summary Destination: Turkey - Marmaris Yacht Model: Dufour 325 Base: Adakoy Start Date: 6 Jun 2015 End Date: 13 Jun 2015 Number of Days: 7 Charter Type: Bare Boat Notes: Price is per person based on 2 people sharing; include London flights and transfers, ATOL 10794 Included: Flights and transfers (ATOL 10794)available as part of a flotilla or bareboat charter, end cleaning, yacht insurance and fuel 8 9 Bareboat Charter and Support Includes: Full tanks of diesel, water and gas Marine insurance No damage waiver or security deposit to pay Flights and transfers Comprehensive tools and spares A quick fix manual for everyday repair and maintenance Additional charts and pilot book Mobile phone and charger (so you can stay in contact with our yacht base) Extra warps Starter pack A dedicated bareboat co-ordinator A full skipper and engineer’s briefing Details of all flotilla routes, staff and contact numbers Experience levels We require two people aged 18 or over aboard each boat to have plenty of sailing experience, having been in charge of a sailing vessel for several cruises, possibly on previous flotilla holidays. They must both be comfortable sailing in a range of conditions and you should hold a minimum of RYA Day Skipper for non-tidal waters. If this level of experience cannot be satisfied, a Flotilla holiday may be more appropriate. The stunning and historic coastline is scattered with small villages, where visiting sailors are always welcome. The famous Turkish hospitality guarantees you will be very well looked after. The thermally generated sea breeze ensures consistent wind conditions, building gradually throughout the day to a typical force three or four in the afternoon. Arrival and departure Flotilla boats will be ready from 5pm on arrival day. Once settled on board, the Neilson crew will give an individual boat briefing. If you arrive in resort after 7.30pm the crew will give a short briefing on essentials such as lights, toilets and gas with a full briefing the following morning. The main flotilla briefing for all yachts is the following morning at 9 or 9.30am and boats are free to depart at any time after the briefing is over. Guests on bareboat charter are free to leave the following morning as soon as the boat is fuelled and the boat papers have been stamped (approx 10.30am). All boats are required to be back at the Neilson base before 6pm on the final sailing day, and vacated by 9.30am on the day of departure. Marina and mooring fees You will very rarely need to pay mooring fees in, but if you do it is usually only a few Euros per night. 10 Food, drink & shopping Food Most of the restaurants in the bays serve simple traditional Turkish food often cooked in a clay oven. Many will also have fish caught that day and offer a selection of mezes (vegetarian starters). Turkish breakfast is plates of tomatoes, cucumber, olives, cheeses, fruit, toast and jam/honey. Some restaurants do offer English breakfast and you will find pancakes are another of their specialties. You can expect to pay around 15 to 20 TL per person for breakfast and anything from 20 TL for dinner per person excluding drinks. Fish is generally more expensive. Drinks Turkey does produce some good wines and there is a wide choice available. You can buy a good bottle at the supermarket for approx 15 to 25 TL but will find the same bottle priced at 55 TL in most restaurants. The local beer is EFES and found everywhere, sometimes on draft. Larger restaurants will have a choice of bottled beers. The traditional alcoholic drink in Turkey is Raki, an aniseed based drink with a strong alcohol content. The Turkish people drink this with water and ice and never drink without eating at the same time, usually mezes. Imported drinks are expensive in Turkey due to the tax so it is advisable to buy your favourite drinks Duty Free at the airport. Always ask the price when ordering drinks so that there are no unpleasant shocks at the end of a delicious meal. For those who prefer something softer a popular drink is tea Cay served in a small glass with/without sugar and without milk. Apple Tea Elma Cay is a refreshing drink that can be served hot or cold. Restaurants, marinas & mooring fees Whilst most restaurants do not charge you for mooring on their jetties you will find some have a charge to cover community costs. These are usually around 20 -50TL per night. As a matter of etiquette restaurant owners will expect you to dine in their restaurant if you are using their jetty. In the larger marinas such as Netsel Marina, Marmaris, Orhaniye, you can expect to pay between 40 – 100 euro’s per night dependent on the size of your yacht. Shopping The larger towns e.g. Marmaris have large shops, and bazaars selling souvenirs, jewellery, carpets. In the small villages local markets sell fresh produce, spices, vegetables and fruit all grown locally. 11 Turkish - Important Phrases Turkish belongs to the Ural-Altaic family of languages, and is rather different from languages of the Indo-European family. There are 29 letters in the Turkish alphabet, and it may be helpful to look at the list of letters following this phrase list to familiarise yourself with the pronunciation. You can see that some of the endings (especially the questions in these examples) have an '-iz' . This indicates a formal, less familiar tone, similar to "vous" in French. Turkish pronunciation is phonetic, very few letters are 'swallowed'. In most instances each letter is pronounced, usually in pairs; for instance, Merhaba is pronounced MARE - HA - BA with the MARE being pronounced like "mare" in english, HA as in haha :o), BA as in bah humbug. :o) Try using a little Turkish whilst you are here, it will be greatly appreciated and bring a big smile. One very important phrase is Hoş Geldiniz (pronounced "hosh gel din iz"). You may well hear this a lot as you enter a resturant or shop, it's a form of greeting, it's near literal translation is "You came well", basically well come or welcome :o) The proper response is Hoş Bulduk (pronounced "hosh bull duk"), literally meaning " we found well". If you remember nothing but this, you'll go a long way. :o) The phonetic pronounciation is written using British English pronounciation, sorry to any Americans, etc. -- Just pretend you're English and use that pronounciation :o) English Turkish Pronunciation Hello Merhaba! MARE-HA-BA see above Good evening İyi akşamlar! EE AK-SHAM-LAR Good-bye (said by person Hoşçakal! HOSH-CHA-KAL leaving) Good-bye (said by person Güle güle! GUU-LEH GUU-LEH staying) How are you? Nasılsın? NA-SEL-SIN I am fine, and you? İyiyim, sen nasılsın? EE-IM, SEN NA-SEL-SIN Not very well.

  • Blue Cruise Turkey
    BLUE CRUISE along the Aegean coast of Turkey The Blue Cruise is ordinarily advertised as renting a private yacht (with captain and sta# on board), cruising along the southwestern coast of Turkey, making stops to swim, hike and see historical ruins. This sounds exciting but it misses the atmosphere of the Blue Cruise that is almost spiritual. As you board your yacht, you also cut the mental ties with land. You embark on a di#erent existence, as if nothing else matters outside your yacht, or even exists for that matter. What makes the Blue Cruise unique is the lack of requirements and responsibilities - at last the freedom to do absolutely nothing and with it, a complete freedom of mind. You can gaze at the sea for hours on end, you can swim everyday, sleep all day or you can finish that book that you weren’t able to finish for ages because of the lack of time. However if you want “action” to spend your time, you will never be at a loss to find yourself activities to try either. When the yacht is anchored, you can discover nearby coves by canoes; you can cover greater distance than swimming and its good exercise for your biceps! Or you can hail down one of the speed boats that tour the coves and bargain for water skiing, jetskis or banana rides. And it goes without saying that you can hike and climb to your heart’s content the pine and olive covered hills that rise from the shore to discover historical ruins from Lycians, Anatolian Greeks, Romans, Byzantines and Ottomans.

A total of 29 drifters were released in September 2008 and February 2009 at key locations south of the Bosphorus and in the central part of the sea. The spatial structures and temporal variability are described together with the atmospheric conditions of the Marmara Sea during the period of study. The behavior of drifters with respect to the wind was qualitatively analyzed. The pseudo-Eulerian velocity statistics were computed from the interpolated positions and maps of the mean currents were produced using the data sorted by experiment. The results are the first of their kind in the area and complement previous findings obtained by means of hydrographic and ADCP measurements. The overall surface flow is westward oriented from the Bosphorus Strait to the Dardanelles Strait. A jet-like flow that enters the Marmara Sea from the Bosphorus Strait and, meandering, crosses the sea prevailed during the entire study period.

  • Pete's Turunҫ Guide 2020
    Pete’s Turunҫ Guide 2020 Dısclaimer Firstly, Please be aware : This guide is intended to give a flavour of only our times holidaying in and around and now living in Turunҫ. (pronounced Turunch) It is heavily biased on our own experiences and preferences. This may not be everyone’s opinion! Check out : www.myturunc.com for more information. Turkish people & Culture Contrary to some people’s opinion (usually those who have never visited Turkey before), the Turkish people are very proud people. They are very nationalistic and love their flag. You will see the flag flying all over Turkey and many statues, and pictures of their ‘Father’ - Ataturk. They are extremely family oriented and are very fond of children and in return the children show much respect for their elders. Conscript is still operated in Turkey, a practise that teaches discipline and respect at the right time in life for most Turkish people. The Muslim religion has to be admired, it is mostly about caring for others and they do not condone the extremists view. Ramadan is practised by choice, even when it’s 50ºC! This is so that they experience what it is like to be without. Since we have moved here, we are discovering how kind and helpful the local Turkish folks are......... especially so during our enforced Covid19 isolation. Background. September 2019 was our 21st visit to Turunҫ since 2003, just prior to moving here to our little corner of paradise permanently. We used to holiday in Turunç nearly every year and sometimes twice in the same year.

Mühendislik Fakültesi Jeoloji Mühendisliği Bölümü Avcılar/İSTANBUL ÖZ: Bu yazının içeriğinde, Bozburun (Marmaris, Muğla) yarımadasında yüzeylenen tektonik birimlerin tabanında yera- lan platform karbonatlarının çökelme ortamları ve yorumlan anlatılmıştır. Platform karbonatları altta genellikle iri kristalli ikincil dolomitlerle başlar. Bunlar üste doğru fenestral fabrikli pelloidal karbonat istiftaşlarına; daha üstte ise karbonat vaketaşlarına geçerler. Dolomitlerin üstündeki bu birimler yoğun biyoklast içerir. Karbonat istiftaşı-vaketaşlan gelgit düzlüğü altı ortamlarda gelişmişlerdir. Bol megalodontlu ve pelletli karbonatlar olasılıkla şelf lagünlerinde durulmuşlardır. Çalışma alanının güneyindeki kesitlerde karbonatlar çökme breşi, algal kireçtaşı ve biyoklastca zengin kireçtaşı düzeylerinden oluşan istif loferitik bir siklotemle temsil edi- lir.

  • Opening Speech
    II. National Symposium On The Aegean Islands, 2-3 July 2004, Gökçeada - Çanakkale OPENING SPEECH Ali KURUMAHMUT Prime Ministry of Navigation Counsellorship Marine Transportation General Manager The Aegean Sea lies between the Turkish and the Greek main lands, as well as between the Morea peninsular and the southwestern edges of the Anatolian coasts, with the extension of the islands of Çuha, Küçük Çuha, Girit, Kaşot, Kerpe and Rodos that constitute its outer natural boundaries. In terms of the geographical structure, the Aegean, a semi-closed sea, has geological and geo-morphological characteristics peculiar to itself: it has about 1800 islands, islets and rocks of various sorts, as well as a number of geographical formations, scattered al over the Sea. There is little wonder that all these characteristics make the Aegean Sea a special one. The Aegean dispute between Greece and Turkey has been complicated for a number of reasons: for instance, there are many islands in the Aegean that Turkey ceded to Greece through international treaties. And these islands lying in the natural extension of the Turkish mainland surround Anatolia from north to the south. But Athens makes claims of sovereignty over many islands, islets, and rocks though Ankara never ceded any of them to Greece officially. The most obvious and famous case would be the Kardak rocks crisis that erupted between Turkey and Greece at the beginning of 1996. These complications make the Aegean a sea that is of special importance among the seas of the world. It is possible to divide the Aegean Islands into five categories in terms of their geographical locations, geological and geo-morphological characteristics, the historical perspectives of the sovereign powers to which they belonged, the manner in which the sovereignty over them was determined through international treaties, as well as their importance for geo-political and strategic purposes.
