It does. Annually. I don't understand and find a bit cheeky why selling adverts recommend 3 yrs service frequency and the service advices and stamps annually.

Re: Marinas in Turkey

Check the website of Setur Marinas. They have quite a number marinas, the somewhat remote ones such as Kas are cheaper. You can calculate the offer price on the web, and maybe have some discount.
