Re: Catamaran marina berth Eastern med for July - August

Ece Marina in Fethiye is a good place. More economic than Bodrum or Marmaris. Easy to find people to look after the boat. Important to book early as its popular.

Re: Turkey: Terrorist threats to cruising areas.

Re: What is so great about the Oceanis 473
