Full Description & Details
Tilkicik Koyu is an anchorage on the Turquoise Coast of Turkey, located in the Bodrum district of Mugla Province, near the Dirmil neighborhood. The bay offers a sandy seabed with patches of seagrass, providing reasonable holding for anchoring. There is space to spread out, and the shoreline is low-lying, making it easy to stop for a swim.
Mooring buoys are available, and a small dock allows for stepping ashore. The anchorage is classified as a commercial pier area, so expect some local traffic. It sits roughly 8.5 miles from Milta Bodrum Marina and about 15 miles from D-Marin Didim, placing it in a relatively quiet stretch of coast between those two marinas.
How to get there
Approach Tilkicik Koyu from the open water, keeping an eye out for the nearby headlands of Ince Burun and Coban Burnu, which frame the area. The anchorage lies off the Dirmil Mahallesi shoreline, with the low coast making it visible as you close in.
No specific VHF channel is published for this anchorage, so monitor the standard cruising channels and listen for local traffic. The seabed is sand with seagrass patches, so pick a clear spot to set the hook and allow enough scope for the depth.
