Be careful about clearing in and out of ports. The Turks are jumpy about yachts just
anchoring offshore, without clearing local customs. If they think you are trying to steal any
antiquities, be ready for a complete boat search. Be prepared to sit long
hours in the customs offices to get clearances and don't be surprised when some of
the officials indicate you have to grease the wheels a bit, like a meal at some restaurant. This
was my experience cruising the Turquoise Coast in the late seventies. Things may have changed, for
the better, I hope.

Hi!

My wife & I are doing a bareboat charter, from Sunsail, out of Gocek in
July, and would welcome any info, tips, places of interest, anchorages,
etc on cruising in this part of the world.

We have never cruised in the Med before, having chartered previously in
the BVI & Seychelles.

Thanks
Bernard
