A Turkish coastal cruise can move between Aegean waters, the southwest coast and the eastern Mediterranean. A forecast for Bodrum or Fethiye does not describe the next exposed cape, bay mouth or offshore leg.
Official marine-weather sources
The Turkish State Meteorological Service 24-hour marine map is the national starting point. Its shipping broadcasts page describes radio and NAVTEX delivery. Near Greek islands, compare the corresponding HNMS marine bulletin for the adjacent Greek forecast area.
Check before a passage
- Find the actual coastal section and forecast validity period before interpreting a marina forecast.
- Check gusts and wind direction against the geometry of each gulf, cape and anchorage entrance.
- Prepare a second way to obtain warnings while underway; cross-border legs may need two national services.
What this page does not do
Sea-area boundaries and broadcast schedules can change. The skipper must confirm the current official product and navigational restrictions for the intended route.
This is not a live forecast or a personal route recommendation. Before departure, check current warnings, issue time and zone boundaries at the original source. AI-assisted and expert personal briefings are in development.
