Long-term monthly averages: air from NASA POWER (2001–2020), sea from NOAA OISST (1991–2020); records are the extremes of 2001–2020. How the index works.
When to go
The beach-day index peaks in September; September scores 9.4/10 with highs of 31 °C, sea at 22.8 °C and 19 mm of rain.
That matches the median for beaches in Turkey in the same month.
At its warmest the water here is 1.4 °C cooler than the Turkey median for August (25.0 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 19.4 °C, warmer than 58% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
January is the wettest month (124 mm) and July the driest (4 mm); the yearly total is about 640 mm.
Daylight runs from 9.5 hours in December to 14.8 hours in June; in mid-September the sun rises at 06:52 and sets at 19:22 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south-south-west (200°). Open water fills about 42% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
The sun sets over the sea in October–March; in mid-December it goes down at 17:53 local time on a bearing of 241°.
Straight out to the south-south-west the next coast is roughly 30 km away, so waves are mostly wind-driven sea rather than ocean swell.
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 14 m deep and 63 m at 3 km. Behind the beach the ground is about 18 m above sea level 500 m inland and 141 m at 1.5 km.
Within 1 km, the land is 49% tree cover, 21% built-up land and 20% grassland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a partly built-up setting. Water makes up 59% of that circle.
