Full Description & Details
Akaclar Koyu is a small anchorage on the southern Marmara Sea coast, near the village of Degirmencik in the Biga district of Turkey. The bay is marked by low hills and quiet shore paths, giving it a calm, remote feel. There is little around it beyond water and land, making it a handy pause for a skipper crossing the Marmara rather than a destination in itself.
The bay offers an anchorage with a calm feel, sheltered by the low hills that surround it. There are no reported berths, pontoons, or moorings; vessels anchor in the bay. Holding ground details are not documented in available sources, so skippers should assess the bottom on arrival. Depth information is not published, and the overnight policy is unknown.
Facilities at Akaclar Koyu are minimal. There are no reported fuel docks, water, electricity, or shore services. The anchorage is essentially undeveloped, with nothing in the way of marina amenities. Skippers should plan to be self-sufficient, carrying their own water, fuel, and supplies before arriving.
Safety notes are limited by the lack of detailed source information. The calm feel suggests reasonable shelter in settled conditions, but the bay is open to the Marmara and offers no dedicated protection from strong winds. The best season for a stopover is not documented. There are no reported restrictions on anchoring, but given the sparse information, a cautious approach is advised.
