Full Description & Details
Buyukaga Koyu is a small anchorage on the Turkish Turquoise Coast, in Mugla province. The bay has a simple layout with a clear beach at its head, and there is room to spread out once you tuck well inside. The shoreline is backed by trees, giving a natural, low-key setting for a stopover.
Anchoring is forbidden in Buyukaga Koyu. Instead, you must use the mooring buoys and run lines ashore. The mooring field has 19 guest buoys, and overnight stays are permitted. The seabed is sand with some rock patches, so choose your spot with care when setting up your lines.
Facilities are minimal. A dinghy landing is available at the beach at the head of the bay, where you can also find a snack bar, water, and a dock. There is no phone or VHF contact listed for the mooring field, and no maximum length is specified for vessels using the buoys.
Buyukaga Koyu is a seasonal anchorage, and the buoys are available for guests. The bay offers basic protection for a night stop, but you should be prepared for a simple, undeveloped setting. There are no fuel docks or chandleries in the bay itself, so plan accordingly before arriving.
How to get there
Approach Buyukaga Koyu from the open water, heading into the bay and tucking well inside to find space. The bay is one of several small coves along this stretch of the Turquoise Coast, so keep a close watch on your chart and the buoys as you enter. There is no VHF channel listed for the anchorage, so plan to pick up a buoy and set your shore lines without radio contact.
Once inside, use your dinghy to reach the beach at the head of the bay for landing. The nearest larger facilities are in the Gocek area, which is a short distance away by sea. There are no formalities reported for the anchorage itself, and the bay is open to visiting yachts on a seasonal basis.
