The Gulf of Saros in northwestern Türkiye is preparing for a busy summer season, offering visitors clear waters, secluded coves and extensive natural landscapes, according to local tourism officials.
Saros Gulf lies along the North Aegean coast between Türkiye’s Edirne province – particularly its Keşan and Enez districts – and the Gelibolu peninsula of Çanakkale. The gulf stretches roughly 60 kilometers (37 miles) and is known for strong currents that help it self-clean, making it one of the few marine areas with naturally high water circulation.
Officials say the gulf’s clear waters and rich underwater biodiversity have made it an increasingly important destination for diving tourism. The region includes numerous coves, beaches and camping areas, many of which see heavy visitation during the summer months.

Popular seaside spots include Erikli, Yayla, Danişment, Gökçetepe, Mecidiye and the coastal areas of Enez. These beaches and villages are part of a growing network of tourism locations along the gulf’s shoreline.
