Full Description & Details
Kamini Koyu is a short, rounded cove on the Sea of Marmara coast of Turkey. It is a simple anchorage with a quiet shoreline and easy swimming, suited to a stopover when you want to be near villages without being right in them. The cove is open to the wider gulf, so it is not a fully enclosed harbour, but it offers a straightforward place to drop the hook for a night or a swim.
Details on protection, depth, and holding are not specified in the available sources. The seabed type is not recorded, so you should check the bottom yourself before committing an anchor. The cove is shared by a small number of boats, and there is space to settle in near the shore. Overnight policy is unknown, so treat it as a standard open anchorage rather than a managed mooring field.
Facilities are minimal. Ashore, a short walk along the coast track between neighbouring coves leads inland to the nearest village lanes, where you will find small shops for basics and shaded spots to sit. There is no mention of fuel, water, electricity, or a harbour office at Kamini Koyu itself, so plan to be self-sufficient for services.
Safety notes are limited by the lack of source detail. The cove is open to the wider gulf, so watch for wind and sea state changes. The best season is not stated, but the Marmara region is typically cruised in the warmer months. There are no reported restrictions, but confirm local conditions before anchoring.
How to get there
Approach Kamini Koyu from the Sea of Marmara, heading for the rounded cove on the Turkish coast. The exact coordinates are 40.5043 N, 27.6194 E. There is no published bearing, waypoint, or channel description in the sources, so navigate visually toward the cove and keep a careful lookout for shallow water near the shore. No VHF channel is listed for the anchorage.
Land access is by dinghy to the shoreline. From the beach, a coast track runs between neighbouring coves, and cutting inland reaches the nearest village lanes with small shops. The nearest town or airport is not specified in the sources, so plan land transport from the village or a nearby larger settlement.
