Löngöz
(N
360 55,9' E 0280 05,7')
Löngöz
(a name perhaps derived from longo, alongo, long)
is the home of the "Ayici" family. Ayici means the
bearhunter, or it may also mean "plunderer of beehives"
- you can choose. I can testify, though, that I have seen
bearhides in this area. Excellent anchorground, some amenities.
Still quite inaccessible from land.

Salines, N 360 55,4' E 0280 01,8')
|
Tuzla
is a long and narrow creek in west to east direction.
Beware of the Karamuk Rocks at the entrance. Incidentally
best anchorage is right to the south of the entrance. |

Yedi
Adalar (N
360 51,7' E 0280 01,6')
The
Yedi Adalar (Seven Islands) is the home of Kambur Kemal, one
of the families who dwell since old times in this very remote
area. Several excellent anchorages, including the Küfre
(The Curse) creek, just large enough for one boat or maybe
two. Liquidambar trees all around. Good walks. Local
honey available.
