We were back in Antalya at the end of October and Bud Taplin came for a visit in early November. We had intended to visit some archeological sites only easily accessible by sea. We left the marina intending to visit Olympus and Phaselis but we were caught by a strong storm and spent three days very safely at anchor in a cove of Cavus Liman, thanks to a local fisherman. We returned to Oak Ridge in mid December and were back March 28, 1995. In time to visit all the sites around Antalya before the cruising season started. The Antalya Marina is well equipped, a little far from downtown Antalya but they have a free shuttle to town several times a day.
