Yassıca Islands, famous for the most beautiful atmosphere of Göcek Coves with plenty of anchorage options, day and night...

Many islands and islets of various sizes, low and high, offering options with deep and shallow waters, are gathered in the same area under the name "Yassıca Islands".

In accordance with the principles and procedures established for the protection of biological diversity and environmental values of the Fethiye-Göcek Special Environmental Protection Area and prevention of pollution, there are sufficient mooring buoys for vessels to tie up in all coves and centers of Yassıca Islands.

In the south, there is the high Zeytinli Island covered with olive trees. The northern shores of this island offer anchorage locations.

The passage between Zeytinli Island and the small Şeytanlı Island to its east is shallow and impassable. The narrow passage between the north of Şeytanlı Island and the long Büyük Yassıca Island is deep. The small cove facing north on Şeytanlı Island is a very beautiful location in suitable weather. Both the bottom structure and atmosphere are worth seeing.

The eastern coastline of Büyük Yassıca Island is not suitable for shelter. However, the western coast is protected and is a location preferred by many vessels. When reaching the middle of Büyük Yassıca Island; on the opposite side there is a small island to the south. To its north is Kızıl Island.

Between the Small Island and Kızıl Island, there is a very small but magnificent anchorage. Approaching here from the west is safer, the area between Büyük Yassıca Island is shallow. Similarly, in the very narrow area between Büyük Yassıca Island and Kızıl Island at this location, although there is a spot providing 2-3 meters depth, there is generally shallowness decreasing to 1 meter. Since the passage is not safe, one enters the magnificent northern cove between Büyük Yassıca Island and Kızıl Island by going around from the north.

Here, the small indentation in front of Kızıl Ada is an excellent all-weather sheltered location for anchoring. At the same time, in this cove, there is a small islet close to Büyük Yassıca Island. Its southern side also creates a sheltered cove.

Büyük Yassıca Island, which approaches from the south high and covered with trees, loses both its height and greenery in this section, finally transforming into a magnificent beach area containing a small water pool.

Here, there is a water sports center on a vessel moored to the shore. The professional divers of this center provide services for all types of diving required within Göcek Coves.

This beautiful location is a place that tour boats coming from Göcek and Fethiye definitely visit during the summer months between 10:00-17:00. For this reason, there is very, very heavy congestion during the specified hours. Those who wish to enjoy the unique atmosphere of Yassıca Islands, especially to combine the sparkling view of Fethiye at night with the vast seas and remain in safety, should prefer the time period outside these hours.

WARNING:

This location is within the scope of anchoring prohibition implementation, there are mooring buoys. Those who wish to utilize the cove can learn about accommodation and reservation conditions from the DERİA (deria.gov.tr) system.
