for wintering
and maintaining yachts, make Marmaris an excellent starting
point for the Blue Voyage tour of the Aegean Coast.
Delikli Island lies right off the coast, southeast of
Ekincik. Dalyan Delta, has a long, golden, sandy beach
at its mouth and is a nature conservation area and a
refuge for sea turtles (caretta caretta) and blue crabs.
At a bend in the river, high on the cliff-face above
the fascinating ancient harbour-city of Caunos, magnificent
tombs were carved into the rocks. Sailing southeast
from Delikli Island, the next destination is Sarigerme.
The Gulf of Gocek is one of the Mediterranean's best
sailing spots. Dotted with islands and indented with
many coves, its land and seascapes are irresistible.
The ruins of Arymaxa, an ancient city at the southern
tip of the gulf, lie at the edge of the azure waters.
Opposite on Tersane Island stand Byzantine ruins, including
those of the ancient shipyards.
