Heybeliada Island (Prince's islands SE of
Istanbul)
We left Atakoy Marina around mid day and motored in
flat conditions through the ship's anchorage across the shipping lanes for the
Bosphorus and thence to our destination.
There must have been at least 60 ships at anchor
and we counted 8 heading north in a mini convoy up the Bosphorus with just one
exiting.
We motored round the south of Burgazada island and
noticed mooring buoys off a pleasant looking bay on the SW side before arriving
at our destination - Cam Limani a horse-shoe shaped
bay on the south of Heybeliada. being a Sunday it
had several boats anchored but it was a large bay and we soon found a good spot
to drop the hook. Most of the boats left before dark and it was just
ourselves
and two motor boats there over night. A very good
anchorage with all round protection accept open to the SE. We spent a couple of
nights here re-charging our batteries after the hectic schedule of
sight
seeing in Istanbul. The Islands are lovely - such a
shame that the day-trippers feel the need to leave all their rubbish lying
around on the beaches for the sea-gulls and crows to pull
apart!
