Hidayet Koyu is a sheltered Kaş bay for easy snorkel and shore diving.
Hidayet Koyu is a sheltered Kaş bay with easy shore access, seagrass meadows, and a gradual rocky slope that deepens east of the cape. It is a relaxed snorkel and dive spot with clear water, regular fish life, and enough outer-slope depth to keep more experienced divers interested. The bay is simple to read, but the calm, shallow feel near shore gives way to a more engaging profile farther out.
