💡 Tips
- The water in the Saros Gulf self-cleans every three days, but it can be slightly cooler than the South Aegean.
- Visit İbrice Harbor if you are into diving; it is one of the premier underwater spots in Turkey.
- Stock up on supplies in Keşan city center before heading down to the more secluded Yaylaköy area.
- Take an evening stroll at the marina to watch the local fishing boats return with their daily catch.
- Be aware that the sea floor can drop off quickly, so keep an eye on depth while swimming.
