Sailing to Marmara

A map of the best ports and anchorages

Marmara

The Marmara region is a place where the boundaries between Europe and Asia blur in the most intriguing ways. This area, anchored by the iconic city of Istanbul, has long been a crossroads of empires, trade routes, and diverse communities. Grand palaces stand alongside lively bazaars, and even the most unassuming villages here often hide relics of the past, whether it’s a Roman bridge, an Ottoman caravanserai, or a Byzantine church, all reminders of the layers of history that have shaped this remarkable region.
