The northern shore is shallow. It suddenly becomes shallow when navigating in front of them. This shallow area covers a wide area towards the open sea. 

Navigation over it is more uncomfortable in rough weather, creating high waves. The south is comfortable and there is a large marina called "D-Marin Turgutreis".
