Getting to Tisan Bay is one of the most common questions from first-time visitors. The good news: the route is short and straightforward, but public transport is limited, so it's worth planning around a car.
From Silifke to Tisan
From central Silifke, Tisan is about a 30-minute drive. The route follows the coast and stays close to the Mediterranean the whole way. A private car or taxi is the most practical option.
From Mersin to Tisan
Coming from Mersin city center, expect around 1 hour of driving. Simply head toward Silifke and continue slightly beyond it — Tisan sits further along the coastline.
Public transport situation
There is no direct, regular public transport line running to Tisan. We recommend driving yourself or arranging a taxi/transfer from Silifke. If you have a booking, the Paddle Blue team can share up-to-date directions and a meeting point.
The most comfortable trip is the one made without rushing, in daylight.
Things to watch for on the way
- Note the coordinates in advance: 36.158754, 33.687328
- The coastal road can be winding — drive carefully, especially in the evening.

When you arrive
Parking near Tisan is generally straightforward. If you've booked with Paddle Blue, the team meets you at the agreed point and runs through a short briefing before the session.
Practical tips
- If you want a stop along the way, central Silifke is a good option.
- Keep valuables with you in a waterproof bag rather than leaving them in the car.
- Check the weather — sessions can be postponed on windy days.
The road to Tisan is a short but genuinely scenic stretch of Mediterranean coastline. With the right timing and a little planning, the trip itself becomes part of the getaway.
