Kocabahçe Restaurant — Restaurant in Marmaris

This family run restaurant is located in one of the most idyllic bays along the southern coastline of Turkey. You can berth your boat at no cost if you eat at the restaurant. Having no road access means they have no spare water and power to offer boats, but The moorings are secure and the staff are extremely helpful when you tie up.

At the restaurant, the staff are welcoming and attentive. There is a great selection of mezze plates, seafood and meats. Servings are good sizes, tasty and we'll priced, especially given the mooring is included with dinner. The wine offerings were minimal but very acceptable. Coffee is Turkish or Nescafe.

All in all this is a great little restaurant in a beautiful bay that, whilst there's no road access for crowds, it's a popular anchor spot for boats. They have great, clean toilets and 2 showers, which we didn't use but all looked very clean. BYO toiletries.

I highly recommend...

Sailor’s Paradise Restaurant is a lovely place managed by Tarik and his wife and other family members. There is no road access so either supplies are brought by boats or grown behind the restaurant. There are 16 Mooring lines (lazy lines) available for sailing yachts or motor yachts. The lines are well maintained and tested by us for three days at 35-40 knot winds. The food quality is very good and serves both fish and meat with Turkish mezes. You can swim from the pier in crystal clear waters. Electricity is produced by solar panels and you can charge your electronics at the restaurant. There are two clean showers and two clean bathrooms available. The water supply is also limited so water cannot be obtained for boats. Overall beautiful place for sailors, and just like the name says,...

Beautiful bay - one of the nicest. Staff very helpful mooring our boat on the pier but no water or power available for boats. No fee if eating at restaurant. Restaurant food was yummy and wine choices good too … higher price than in other places. Probably lacked some of the personal touches we’ve experienced in other places. Waking to lovely mellow music filtering out from restaurant was lovely this morning whilst in such a tranquil setting. Footnote: very few boats moored so would have been nice if we had been spread out on the pier - we were only 4 boats with 13 or so available all right next...
