Handle Island
← Back to list
Saplı Island, located off the coast of Didim, is one of the region’s hidden natural treasures. Access to the island is provided by regular boat tours departing from Didim Marina throughout the day. Formed as a result of a massive volcanic eruption around 1500 BC, the island still bears visible traces of volcanic ash and rock formations that reveal its ancient origins.
What makes Saplı Island truly unique is the absence of any buildings or facilities. There are no cafes, hotels, or structures of any kind, allowing nature to remain untouched. Visitors are advised to bring their own snacks and essentials to fully enjoy a peaceful escape away from the noise and crowds of modern city life.
