Amazon (Maden-Gücük-Küçükgünlük) Bay36° 49.9’ N - 28° 03’ E
Map 3112 BMaden Bay which has dense pine forest on its both slopes enters into the land like a fiord at the north of Bördübet Gulf. The inner part of the bay is deep until the start of the low sand headland on the north coast. It is anchored here between 6 to 10 m. The bottom is muddy-sandy and holds anchor perfectly. Boats reach to a standstill position either anchored or on hawser on south coast.
The bay is exposed only to west – southwest wind and when the gentle breeze blows from the west, weak wave is seen.
There is a low wooden port in front of the sand headland. This place is the beach of Amazon Camping which is placed inland. There is a road down below the trees to the camping site. 2 m. depth line begins from the wooden port and reaches to the opposite coast on the east direction. A white water gage near the wooden port marks sandbank. The wide bay beyond this water gage is shallow. An overflow in the end, curls to the inland. Never neglect visiting this overflow with your rubber boat. A channel which has a depth of 0.5 to 1 m., draw into the river after the wooden port at the north coast of the bay. The channel is marked. Keep red ended pickets on the right and white ones on the left. The overflow, which huge pine trees bend on, curls and reaches to the port of inland Amazon Camping. Perhaps a grey mullet or a bird (YALIÇAPKINI) guides you!
Bördübet forest road coils the south coast of the bay and passes in front of the camp. You will recognize the beauty of the bay well if you walk around below the shadow of century old pine trees at the time of the day which the sun’s hegemony ends.
Amazon Camping is a small, clean facility for the nature lovers who come for a quiet vacation. At the same time, it serves to boats coming to the bay. You can provide your needs like food, drinks, shower and phone, can taste the country type bread that they cook and can make shopping from its market.
