East of Dikili Strait, south of Adatepe Point, it is a spacious but mostly shallow, sheltered excellent harbor containing 2 islands.

Parallel to the eastern shore, in a north-south direction, first comes Kalem Island, outside Garip Island and their coves.

The harbor has 2 entrances.

One is the northern entrance (39°1'012" N – 26°47'497" E), the other is the southern entrance (38°59'639" N – 26°47'688" E)

At the northern entrance, in front of the entrance there is Güvercin Rock and its wreckage. The southern entrance is narrow and wreckage extends up to 70 meters at the southern tip of Kalem Island. Therefore, when passing through the channel, it is necessary to stay closer to the mainland.

The harbor interior is generally shallow and requires caution. The harbor has 3 sheltered locations.

The Strait between Garip Island and Kalem Island (38°59'843" N – 26°47'327" E) ;

This area is not entered through the channels mentioned above. 

This section below Garip and Kalem Islands cannot be approached from the north. 

In the northern part of the islands, depth drops to 1.5 meters and is shallow.

The cove is approached from the south and anchored on sandy bottom between 4-6 meters.

A tropical appearance prevails. 

Its white sand and islands look magnificent. Closed to the north, open to the south, this cove holds anchor well.

Ilıca Cove (39°0'071"N  -  26°47'890"E) :

It is southeast of Kalem Island. Anchor is dropped on muddy bottom between 4-8 meters. It holds anchor well, however, during times when northerly winds are prevalent, squalls from the mountain descend in a disturbing manner.

On the east of the cove, on the mainland, there are natural hot springs. Hot water flows from everywhere and fills the pools. Boats dock their hot spring visitors at the small pier in this location. 

There is a very elegant hotel in harmony with nature on Kalem Island.

Cove East of Pisa Point(39°00'57"N  -  26°48'13"E) :

The shores of Pisa Point are shallow up to 60 meters in this location. At the end of this shallowness, on the eastern side, anchor is dropped at 4-6 meters on seaweed bottom. In front of this location, there is a narrow passage through which boats can reach Bademli Village pier. It is recommended that those unfamiliar with it should not use this passage.

Fishing company facilities are located at the pier. There is a road connection from here to Bademli Village 1 kilometer away and to Dikili Town 7 kilometers away. Shopping-related needs can be met in the village. There are very nice tea gardens and their syrups.

Winds can change direction at any moment inside Bademli Harbor.

A neighborhood market is set up in Dikili Town on Tuesdays.
