When to go
The beach-day index peaks in June–September; July scores 9.5/10 with highs of 30 °C, sea at 23.1 °C and 13 mm of rain.
In July that is 0.4 points above the median of the 156 beaches in Turkey covered by this atlas.
At its warmest the water here is 1.5 °C cooler than the Turkey median for August (25.0 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 18.1 °C, cooler than 57% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
December is the wettest month (96 mm) and August the driest (6 mm); the yearly total is about 620 mm.
Daylight runs from 9.4 hours in December to 15.0 hours in June; in mid-July the sun rises at 05:59 and sets at 20:44 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south-west (215°). Open water fills about 50% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
The sun sets over the sea in every month; in mid-June it goes down at 20:45 local time on a bearing of 302°.
Straight out to the south-west about 1,200 km of open sea lies before the next coast, enough for large swells to build. The beach is on an island of about 38 km².
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 30 m deep and 37 m at 3 km. Behind the beach the ground is about 43 m above sea level 500 m inland and 55 m at 1.5 km.
Within 1 km, the land is 48% grassland, 27% tree cover and 14% shrubland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a largely natural setting. Water makes up 55% of that circle.
