Turgutreis - New laws and agencies in Turkey suck - (01-May-2009)



You might want, like us, to enjoy some food in one of the many restaurants, but beware !!! 







If you come by boat from Greece to Turkey you need to pay some money for the paperwork to enter the country. With the old laws you would pay something like 50 Euro in case you would spend some hours running around yourself and trying to figure out to whom to pay extra money to speed up the process or 100 Euro if you would like to have some agency doing this for you. NOW there are new laws and if the boat is more than 10 tons there is no way to run around yourself, which I would not do anyhow in my holidays, but the agency (in our case AHS Yatailik-Yachting) charges 220 Euro. BTW in Kucatasi the service fee for the agency (and the Maria is an agency as well) would be 50 Euro.
DON'T GO TO TURKEY/TURKUTREIS WITH YOUT SAILING BOAT THEY ARE RIPPING YOU OFF THERE!
