Tersane Island

Shipyard Island stands out with its breathtaking natural beauty in the Gulf of Göcek. This largest island takes its name from an old shipyard dating back to the Ottoman era, capturing attention not only with its name but also with the unique experiences it offers.

Situated in the northwest of the island, Shipyard Bay is a natural harbor, providing an ideal spot for those who wish to enjoy the sunset. The restaurant within the bay, equipped with a small pier, is noteworthy for its delicious meals.

Shipyard Island takes us on a journey into the past. In Shipyard Bay, you can witness the mysterious beginnings of the sunken city of Kekova and an underwater Byzantine church, truly immersing yourself in the historical texture of the island. The remnants of old Greek houses enrich the island's atmosphere, while the resident goats add a colorful touch to its natural life.

Shipyard Island, with its serene atmosphere and crystal-clear turquoise waters, is truly a natural wonder. Tersane Bay, an ideal paradise for swimming and snorkeling enthusiasts, invites you to explore ancient remnants in its clean waters.
