Wall Bay

Wall Bay, also known as Ruin Bay, is one of the most picturesque anchorage areas in the Turkish Riviera. It is located in the southeast corner of Skopea Marina on the western side of the Gulf of Fethiye in the Mediterranean Sea. Almost the entire area is riddled with rocks, overgrown with numerous pines and oleanders. All the lush greenery leads down to the crystal-clear and piercing blue water. During a colorful sunset, visitors to the bay will find a particularly romantic atmosphere filled with fresh sea air.

 Anchorage Opportunities at Wall Bay

On the northwestern shore of Wall Bay are two piers for about 40 yachts, with the possibility of mooring parallel to the pier. The water depth on the outer side of the pier is more than 10 meters, and it’s about 2-3 meters on the inner side. The bay is very calm for parking and is closed off from all winds, except for the northeast. The bottom is mixed and consists of silt, sand, and stone, so it is better to additionally monitor how well the anchor holds.

There is an excellent restaurant on the shore, whose employees can help visitors with mooring. The restaurant can offer guests the best of traditional Turkish cuisine and fresh seafood. In the evenings, live music is played in the restaurant and national songs are sung to national musical instruments.

Spending time in Wall Bay

This amazingly beautiful place is a paradise for lovers of water sports such as swimming, diving, kayaking, and snorkeling. The calm blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea and picturesque landscapes with an abundance of greenery provide peace and relaxation. This bay is also one of the most photographed locations for professional photo shoots.

In addition, for lovers of historical sites, there are also many exciting places. For example, Wall Bay owes its name to an ancient wall, the ruins of which are located nearby, about 4-5 meters from the pier. This fortified wall protected the Lycian city of Lydia from enemy attacks and has been preserved in a very good condition. Also in the southern corner of the bay are the ruins known as Cleopatra's Bath, extremely popular with tourists.
