The southern province of Hatay, home to numerous bays along the eastern Mediterranean coast, aims to expand underwater tourism with the opening of the Çevlik Diving Village in the Samandağ district.
The province, which suffered extensive destruction in the Feb. 6, 2023, earthquakes centered in Kahramanmaraş, has incorporated projects aimed at promoting diving into its reconstruction and revitalization efforts.
The Çevlik Diving Village, built on property owned by the Hatay Governor’s Office in Samandağ, began operating on Aug. 3 as boat tours have become increasingly popular in the district.
