Approaching Bebek Harbour
Fishing is a Pleasant Pastime in the Summer months
Rumeli Fortress
Many Large Vessels are Moored in Bebek
Bebek is one of the few Bays in the Bosphorus where one can Keep a Boat or Drop an Anchor Overnight
On this Trip up the Bosphorus we Change Sides and Travel Along the Asian Side for a Change
The Asian Side of the Bosphorus does not Appear to be as Populated or as busy as the European Side
The Navy has Quite a Presence in the Bosphorus Strait

The Fishing Fleet in Action
At Last to the Black Sea

The Remains of an Ancient Castle on the Western end of the Strait
We Approach the Busy Fishing Port called Turkeli Feneri at the Top of the Bosphorus
We have Never seen so Many Fishing Boats in such a Small Port !!!
Friendly Folk !!
We are Amazed at the Incredible Sight of the Colourful Boats
With a very Choppy Sea Outside, this Port gives Good Shelter for the Fishing Boats
The Local Fishermen were very Friendly and Asked if we Wanted to Tie Up Beside their Boat Overnight
We Decided it Would be Quieter for us to Return to Poraz Where we are Able to Drop an Anchor and have a Peaceful Night
It was a Memorable Experience Visiting this Small Busy Fishing Port at the Entrance to the Black Sea
Overnight for us Again in the Delightful Town of Poraz
