About Yilanci Burnu
Yilanci Burnu is Kusadasi's best-known marina-side dive bay, with a very shallow start that steps down to a straightforward medium-depth profile. It is a local favorite for try-dives and easy shore diving, but it also rewards relaxed exploration with clear Aegean water, rocky structure, and regular sightings of octopus, moray eel, nudibranchs, turtles, and small fish.
