(0)
Gizli Liman, meaning ‘Hidden Harbor’, is a secluded bay on Gokceada Island. Surrounded by natural rocky formations, the bay offers calm and clear waters that are ideal for swimming and relaxing. Its quiet setting makes it a favorite spot for travelers seeking privacy and untouched coastal beauty.
