Notes to sailors
  • Selimiye Bay can be accessed by navigating between two distinct points, namely Sığ Burun and Karaburun, approximately 1 nautical mile to the southwest.

  • When approaching from the southwest, caution is advised due to the presence of potentially hazardous reefs.


  • Selimiye is a great place to re-stock with provisions, fresh fruit & vegetables.


  • We would recommend anchoring in the bay and taking the dinghy ashore. The town jetty is very often full of local boats.


  • These shallow waters, measuring 1.5 meters deep and extending 30-40 meters with a distance of just 250 meters offshore, are marked by a navigational buoy. Furthermore, mariners should remain vigilant of rocks that protrude about 350 meters from Karaburun Point towards Selimiye village.
