About Çanakkale

Saros Bay:

The underwater treasures it possesses make Saros Bay a leading diving spot on the northwestern Aegean coast of Turkey.

There are strong currents in Saros Bay, and it has not been degraded by the effects of significant urbanization and industrialization. As a result, it is one of the cleanest and untouched areas of the Aegean Sea. The bay cleans itself three times a year thanks to the currents, flushing out waste with a mixture of warm and cold water.

In the bay, there are over 200 different marine species, including water bugs, lobsters, starfish, and sea snails. You can also find many diving spots: İbrice Harbor, Paradise, Hell, Toplar Cape, Soldier Stone, Three Islands, Coal Harbor, Baby, and Minnoş Rocks. The most well-known among these is Minnoş Rocks, where colorful cliffs are located about 15 meters below the water level. After the first few meters, you can see dolphins and sea turtles, and pass by orange corals. At the end of the cliff, you may encounter lanternfish and large rays.

Saros Bay is also home to shipwrecks. One of them is the Lundy Wreck, which weighs 188 tons. The ship was built in 1908 and sank in 1915. Its wreck is located in Suvla Bay, south of Saros Bay. After 13 meters, the silhouette of the ship begins to be visible, and from this point, you can explore the captain's boat and watch the bream swimming on the deck. You can find many lobsters and grouper fish on the seabed where the ship meets the sand.

The last wreck in Saros Bay is an Airbus A330 that was sunk in March 2019 and is ready for exploration.
