About this site

A dive made off the ancient settlement area at the Burgaz locality. Because it is an archaeological site, the route and the permit situation must be planned together with the local centre.

Underwater cultural assets are covered by Turkish Law no. 2863. Diving at these sites is done only through authorized dive centers and in line with the published rules.
