When to go
The beach-day index peaks in June–July and September; June scores 9.6/10 with highs of 29 °C, sea at 24.4 °C and 13 mm of rain.
In June that is 0.6 points above the median of the 156 beaches in Turkey covered by this atlas.
At its warmest the water here is 3.8 °C warmer than the Turkey median for August (25.0 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 22.1 °C, warmer than 69% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
January is the wettest month (215 mm) and August the driest (3 mm); the yearly total is about 940 mm.
Daylight runs from 9.7 hours in December to 14.6 hours in June; in mid-June the sun rises at 05:39 and sets at 20:16 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces east-south-east (110°). Open water fills about 47% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
At no time of year does the sun set over the sea here: sunset bearings run from 241° to 300°, behind the land.
Sunrise is over the sea in every month.
Straight out to the east-south-east about 500 km of open sea lies before the next coast, enough for large swells to build.
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 29 m deep and 79 m at 3 km. Behind the beach the ground is about 20 m above sea level 500 m inland and 87 m at 1.5 km.
Within 1 km, the land is 65% tree cover, 19% grassland and 11% bare ground, sand or rock (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a largely natural setting. Water makes up 55% of that circle.
