Ören

It is located east of Ören Cape, which has a lighthouse (Fl 3s 6m 8M).  When approaching, it is advisable to pass well clear of the coastal section between Ören Cape and Kerme Cape, which have shallow waters ahead. 

With its back against mountains and forest, and in front the alluvial deposits brought by Kocaçay River, Ören takes in sea during breezy weather. 

It also receives downpours from the high mountain to its northeast. It is not a recommended harbor except in calm weather. Although there is a shelter in the bay, it is occupied by tour boats, finding space is impossible. Even if found, mooring is dangerous due to the very shallow area.

The sea at Ören is deep. If staying in suitable weather we are confident about, anchor is dropped at 15-20 meters in front of the buoys marking the beach safety zone.
