Fishing harbours and municipal ports that take yachts, grouped under the Sea of Marmara, the Aegean and the Mediterranean by province and district.
Harbours help when the marina is full or when a boat lies on a coast without a marina. The afloat parts of a survey can be done in these harbours; the underwater hull needs a separate haul-out. For shelter during a delivery, see the safe anchorages list.
Only harbours that take yachts are listed; places suited only to small boats are left out. The draught limit allows about half a metre under the keel at the shallowest berth; a length limit is given where the source states one.
