Antalya promotes its seas

The Antalya Metropolitan Municipality has been taking part in a project since February that includes filming a documentary about sea life near the city as a means to promote tourism and underwater diving in Turkey. The project aims to create awareness around the world about the country’s wealth of sea life and turn Turkey into an important diving center.

Turkey’s sea life and historical texture will be depicted from the perspective of the project’s world-famous film producers, whose first stop is the southern city of Antalya.

"Our aim is to publicize Antalya, a city of the sea and natural beauties, to the whole world, and to create social awareness to protect this unprecedented beauty," said Antalya Mayor Menderes Türel.
