Top Beaches in Turkey

Bring your own beach chair if you can... Renting one can eat into your budget, but laying on a towel can feel a bit rough after a while on the sand

If you plan on swimming, bring some water shoes. The beach has some rocky patches, and it’s not the most foot-friendly. Trust me, you'll thank yourself later!

I recommend checking out the beach bars for lunch. The prices are reasonable and the food is generally good plus you can enjoy the view while munching on a snack!

I think it's a good idea to check the weather beforehand. I went on a cloudy day expecting sun, and it wasn't as enjoyable. Overcast days might not be what you hoped for!

My advice is to go early, around 8 AM. The beach gets super crowded later on, and you'll have a better spot and a more relaxing experience in the morning sun.

Bring water shoes! The pebbly beach can be tough on bare feet, and trust me, they make walking around way more comfy.

Try to catch the sunset around 6:30 PM – it’s absolutely stunning, and way less crowded than during the day. Perfect for some memorable photos!

If you want the best sunbeds, get there by 9 AM. I thought I could stroll in later, but by 10, all the good spots were taken and I had to settle for a less comfy area
