Climate and wind
At the Turkish coast of the Mediterranean you will find typical Mediterranean climate – in the summer it is hot and dry with a pleasant sea breeze. During the long charter season from April till October sailors will find really ideal weather conditions. In the summer between June and September the coast is dominated by the etesians generally blowing from the north but may be partially diverted by the structure of the coast. They usually blow from late afternoon until sunset at ca. 4-6 Beaufort. But they can become as strong as 7-8Bft and last for many days. In the spring and autumn strong southeastern winds may blow, which should be taken into consideration when choosing an anchoring bay.
