A magical journey into the sea: Turkey’s underwater museum
Turkey’s first underwater museum takes scuba divers into a mystical journey with over 115 sculptures.
Side Underwater Museum, located some 2.4 kilometers off the shores of Antalya’s Manavgat district, was opened four years ago.
Taking a pioneering step for both Turkey and the European continent, cultural and trade officials in Side district cut the ribbon for the museum on Oct. 31, 2015.
Up until today, about 50,000 people have visited the museum.
The museum displays some 117 sculptures located in different depths in the Mediterranean, with the furthest being 24 meters deep.
The enchanting museum’s main objective is to tell the world of the abundance of ancient Anatolian civilizations.
