Except the work is not for the benefit of boat owners. Many of the marina facilities including the swimming pool, tennis court, a shower/toilet block, on site restaurant and a large supermarket at the entrance have been closed to facilitate the construction of a large commercial centre which will be owned by the marina company but only accessible from the street outside. Most of the car parking has disappeared as well.In those situations, one can usually accept the work has to be done, but the dust can be a real pain
You are rapidly changing my (distant) understanding that Turkey was cheap ....Except the work is not for the benefit of boat owners.

I too have a distant memory of a time when Türkiye was cheap. But not anymore. Our marina is owned by Setur which has another 10 marinas in Türkiye and 1 in Mytilini (Lesvos). I was talking to an Italian couple in the marina a few days ago. They're moving to Mytilini where the mooring fee is one third of the price in Kuşadası.You are rapidly changing my (distant) understanding that Turkey was cheap ....![]()
Some years ago we travelled down the west coast of France with friends who had a 33' Westerly(?) and he got annoyed whenever we went into a marina. They'd generally allocate us adjoining berths but Rob would be charged 20-33% more - the night it was +50%, I had to buy all the beer to calm him down - as our boat was <10m, whereas at a registered 10.06m, his scraped into the 10-12m category.What counts is the length on the registration certificate.
Interesting. Fabulous marina in a fabulous location and still cheaper than Kuşadası.Take a seat !
Here in Vilamoura Portugal they have 100% surcharge on cats, so your boat would cost 23901.36€ pa
