Rod Heikell


This 8th edition of Rod Heikell's guide to the coast of Turkey from the Bosphorus to the Syrian border and Cyprus has been revised following the author's visits to the coasts. Details of new yacht harbours have been collected and the data on the existing entries has been updated and improved throughout. There are many new plans and new photographs from the author and high quality aerial photos of most of the major harbours which gives a fascinating overview and support for the plans. This edition sees a reworked introduction that takes accounts of changing cruising patterns and interests. There is no other guide in English and Turkish Waters Pilot sets the standards for both pilotage and describing places to visit and see.
