Safety warning
Its story
Gideros is a sheltered bay on the coastal road between Cide and Kurucaşile, opening to the sea through a narrow strait. Because the mouth of the bay is only the width of two fairly large boats, it is said to have once been a hiding place for pirates. Its name is thought to come from Kytoros, mentioned in ancient sources. In the bay, protected by the conservation council as a natural protected site, you can visit the remains of an Ottoman hamam and the strait by rowing boat, and swim from its small beach.
