I'm in Kas marina, (Setur). If you still want an answer let me know and I'll go to the marina office tomorrow and also down to the harbour for you to check prices. What's your length and beam just in case I'm asked. Also how many days.
Along with a number of boats originally scheduled to do the (cancelled) EMYR rally weve spent the past 5 weeks doing a whistle stop run from Didim to Kumkuyu calling in at a lot of marinas (inc Kas) along the way.
As weve got further east so has the number of cruising boats dramatically reduced.
Kumkuyu was almost deserted as is Karpaz Gate on Cyprus (where are now)
The conflicts in the Middle East have effectively stopped cruising traffic to and from the Levant so if you are looking for peace and quiet, you are heading in the right direction.
Just PM you , not sure if you get it , this new site has lost me a bitVic

the only think we found that as spoil Turkey a bit for us is when some of the gullets decided to empty out when they leave the anchorage , you would thing by now they learn to want until there are out in the open .
I am gob smacked why they do it , some have had 14 people on board , that a lot of sh@t . It really is time they clamped down on them , the other thing that has shocked us it some of the restaurants in the isolated bays seen to put all they rubbish in the corner of the bay I am big piles , we seen this a few time now , I guessing at some point some one comes out and takes it ways or they fire it up . You would had though it best to put it into one of the boats and move it every night , just encourages rats , what funny or not funny , when I took a bag ashore and was told to put where the rest was I decided to take it back to the boat and the guy insisted I left it and looked a bit shocked that I took it back , don't these people understand it does they business no good having rubbish and gullet emptying tank let alone the country side .They do exactly the same in Greece. We were anchored in O. Vathi on Pserimos a couple of nights ago. A Turkish gulet that anchored closer ashore for a swimming party was emptying as he passed us on the way out, no more than 100 metres from the beach. We were floating in sh*t for a few minutes. I assume the blue card scheme doesn't apply to them?

Received your email. I'll go into the office in an hour or so and report back.
As for the anchorage at the end of the bay where the marina is. Last night three were two boats anchored but still lots of room. It's not so far into town if you dinghy ashore and walk up to the road, turn left and 5 minutes you're almost in the middle of town. . You don't need to go all the way around.
we couldn't find anyone to ask [in Kas harbour]

I'm guessing that your comment about the blue card not applying to gullets was meant in jest. All boats are supposed to comply but the gullets seem to ignore it. They are the worst offenders as the volume of muck that they expelll is way more than the average yacht.
Last week we were in Kekova Roads and decided to take a look in Woodhouse Bay, a beautiful anchorage but strangely deserted. When we motored in the reason became clear, lots of muck floating about in the water. I can't swear that it was a gullet but there was lots of it.
I've been told that there are regular helicopter patrols along the coast looking for pollution. I've seen it fly over here twice in seven weeks.
