Dive Area
Turunc Pinari is a bay approximately 2 miles to the left after leaving Fethiye Harbour.
It is suitable for diving and anchoring because it remains calm during the summer. Its rocky bottom, scattered amphora fragments and marine life around the large rocks define the character of the site.
