Gizli Liman
A “secret harbor” cove on the western tip of the island, enclosed by cliffs, with emerald, clear water and sea caves nearby for swimming and snorkeling.
Gizli Liman means “secret harbor” in Turkish. It lies west of the village of Uğurlu at the western tip of the island, a small bay enclosed by steep cliffs. The water is emerald green and very clear, and sea caves along the shore can be swum into, making the bay good for swimming and snorkeling. It has only a small strip of sand and gravel and almost no facilities, so bring your own drinking water, food and shade. When the wind is strong, the waves are high and swimming is not advised. The last few kilometers to the bay are dirt road, so drive carefully, or hike there from Uğurlu village. It is about 25 km from the island’s town center and is often visited on the same day as Uğurlu’s beaches and sunset.
