Kıyıkışlacık indents to the north. Care is needed while entering into the bay because of the remains of ancient breakwater in the fairway. A Byzantine tower on starboard at the entry is spotted. This tower is connected to the shore. Reef of ancient breakwater extends to the middle from the western part of the tower. The shallow is indicated by stick or a buoy, but it should not be relied on. The depth in the middle is about 8 meters. Keep this breakwater on your port side, keep 15-20 meters distance while entering. These remains may not be seen in harsh weather.

This bay provides all-round shelter. Northerly blowing winds are predominant. Reef of ancient breakwater protects the bay from southerlies swell.

The bottom is muddy. Good holding. The depth is 8 meters max. The depths shelve to the shore. You can drop your anchor and swing, but we suggest yachtmen to drop anchor in 4 meters and go stern or bows on quay on the west.
