what if? After reading all new information posted here I called Marmaris Foreigners Office, unfortunately they have no new regulamentation, so we still have to give them an annual/ 9 months marina contract for staying in Turkey more than 90 days. We're waiting desperately for some good news...

turkcell offices (mine has done in bodrum but also marmaris) take your phone datas and your passport (just to get a copy), within 2 working days you shall be able to use your phone with turkish prepaid sims. I think this is the easiest way if you have a limited budget, because in turkey mobile...

as a turkish, I can only tell you "thanks". well, maybe religion and language differences can make turkey not the best alternative on paper. I don't want to seem a pure supporter, but as a low budget sailor, turkey is a real paradise (for us). during the day you can really enjoy your sails and...

tecnomar i'm living on board in Tecnomar. they're kind and very able to do any specific repair with good prices. and you're on the tevere river that is also very romantic...I'm also sure that you'd pay less than porto di roma. for gesti nautica, consider that it's not so good to liveaboard...

corinth canal: never again! Last June for a 12.80 m boat, I've paid 180,00 euro. And during the pass, when my poor engine was already over 4000 rpm, they were calling me in continues on VHF shouting "YAKAMOZ FASTER, FAAASTEER". And near the exit a bungee jumper had thrown himself just ahead us...

I've changed my mind I've passed the last summers trying to keep my inflatable boat with air inside, I've tried nearly everything, but it will never bother me again... Finally decided to buy a walker bay dinghy, I'm sure I won't have to fight with him too :D buon vento basak

Since it seems to be a common practice, i'm going to talk about my own experience with one of the worst example of customer services. We have a boat yes, but we're not rich. So every purchase that I have to do should be without any fault. Maybe this is the wrong way of thinking, everything...

first of all thanks for your interest. Me and my husband are liveaboards from 2 years in Rome, Italy on an Ovni 41 made in 1987. This is the only thing that we have, and we're really so happy for this :o ... Last summer we sailed to turkey where we'll be back this summer too, but this time we'll...
