The approach to Kaş requires diligent monitoring of the bathymetric profile, as the seabed drops precipitously to depths exceeding 40 meters just off the coastline. The primary mooring areas offer a substrate composed predominantly of sand and dense Posidonia oceanica (erişte) beds; anchoring requires precise placement to avoid dragging on rock shelves. The port provides excellent shelter against the prevailing westerly and southwesterly winds, though the outer roadsteads remain vulnerable to southerly swells. Navigators must exercise caution regarding strong katabatic winds channeling through the mountain passes during summer afternoons.
