About Çeşme Reef

The waters around Çeşme on the Aegean coast feature rocky reefs with dense Posidonia meadows. Common dolphins occasionally visit and the area is rich in Mediterranean fish species including painted combers. The cooler Aegean currents bring excellent visibility, often exceeding 30 metres in summer.
