place to be at least one day in the Alands, all you need you will find, interesting museums, shops, restaurants, ... the Pommern it highly recommended; in strong southern winds don´t use the outer pontons of the first and second pier they move a lot, go as close as possible to the shore; mooring with buoy to floating pontons; avoid for approach and departure the time around 14...14:30 at this time 4 or 5 big ferries come and go and it is crowded with big ships

small Marina which belongs to a hotel. the place is nice to relax but it is exposed to all winds and waves except easterly, good choice to stay there only in absolutely quiet conditions otherwise it is much better to go on to Bozburun harbour or the anchor field beside
we had dinner there, very very expensive and they tried to make extra charge for the pier which is absolutely unusal in Turkey if you have dinner in the restaurant
