When to go
The beach-day index peaks in June–September; July scores 9.8/10 with highs of 30 °C, sea at 27.9 °C and 3 mm of rain.
In July that is 0.7 points above the median of the 156 beaches in Turkey covered by this atlas.
At its warmest the water here is 4.0 °C warmer than the Turkey median for August (25.0 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 22.4 °C, warmer than 69% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
December is the wettest month (164 mm) and August the driest (2 mm); the yearly total is about 780 mm.
Daylight runs from 9.7 hours in December to 14.6 hours in June; in mid-July the sun rises at 05:44 and sets at 20:10 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces west-south-west (245°). Open water fills about 33% 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 20:11 local time on a bearing of 300°.
Straight out to the west-south-west about 800 km of open sea lies before the next coast, enough for large swells to build.
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 52 m deep and 226 m at 3 km, so deep water starts close to shore. Behind the beach the ground is about 28 m above sea level 500 m inland and 18 m at 1.5 km.
Within 1 km, the land is 61% built-up land, 30% tree cover and 4% bare ground, sand or rock (satellite land-cover map, 2021): an urban beach. Water makes up 38% of that circle.
