Kadirga Bay
Kadirga Bay is one of the most popular anchorage points in the region, located off the coast of Marmaris and famous for its blue-flagged sea. An essential stop on yacht charter and blue cruise itineraries, the bay takes its name from its sheltered structure where Ottoman galleys (kadirga) once sought refuge. With its crystal-clear turquoise sea and high underwater visibility, it offers a unique experience for snorkeling enthusiasts. Known for its untouched nature, pine-fringed coastline, and peaceful atmosphere, the local establishments in the area provide guests with a pleasant dining experience featuring fresh seafood.
