Full Description & Details
Kalemyel Koyu is a sheltered anchorage on Turkey's Turquoise Coast, set in front of a well-known beach club cove. The bay is framed by steep green slopes, and the water is clear, turning bright over sand patches. It is a popular spot for small motor yachts, which often stay tied up here.
The seabed is a mix of sand and rock, offering good holding for an anchor. Day boats frequently visit, so expect some activity, especially if you anchor close to the beach. A dinghy run ashore leads to organised beach areas and walking tracks along the hillside, with viewpoints above the bay.
How to get there
Approach Kalemyel Koyu from the Gulf of Fethiye, heading into the bay with care. The anchorage lies in front of the Hillside hotel beach, which is marked by buoys that are off-limits to boats. Depths increase quickly away from the beach, so be ready to anchor in 20 meters or more.
Day boats may come alongside if you are near the beach, so keep a lookout. There is no VHF channel listed for this anchorage; nearby Ece Marina in Fethiye monitors VHF 73. The nearest marina is Ece Marina, about 1.67 miles away, and the town of Fethiye is close by.
