Sıçak Bay takes its name — Turkish for "warm" — from the natural hot springs that bubble up along the rock face on the eastern side, raising the water temperature noticeably above the surrounding Lycian coast. Swimmers find spots where the warm spring water meets the cooler Mediterranean, creating distinct thermal layers underwater. The bay itself is small, with no village and no road access — just clear water, scattered rocks, and a few stone foundations on the hillside. Most charter routes between Demre and Kaş stop here for a swim and lunch anchorage. The northern end opens to a footpath that climbs to a ruined Lycian observation tower. Season runs April through October; the hot springs make the bay swimmable even in the cool months.
