About Akyar Gizli Koy
Akyar Gizli Koy is a sheltered-looking cove dive near Narlikuyu and Silifke in Mersin, with a gradual sandy-and-rocky bottom that makes the site approachable for newer divers while still giving experienced divers room to move around. It has a quiet camping-and-swimming atmosphere, but access is the key planning issue because the cove is not a simple walk-in dive entry.
