When to go
The beach-day index peaks in June–September; September scores 9.6/10 with highs of 27 °C, sea at 26.4 °C and 20 mm of rain.
In September that is 0.3 points above the median of the 156 beaches in Turkey covered by this atlas.
At its warmest the water here is 2.3 °C warmer than the Turkey median for August (25.0 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 21.4 °C, warmer than 68% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
January is the wettest month (183 mm) and August the driest (5 mm); the yearly total is about 840 mm.
Daylight runs from 9.7 hours in December to 14.7 hours in June; in mid-September the sun rises at 06:45 and sets at 19:13 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south-west (220°). Open water fills about 14% of the horizon close by, which makes it a sheltered cove or bay.
The sun sets over the sea in December–January; in mid-December it goes down at 17:49 local time on a bearing of 241°.
Straight out to the south-west about 500 km of open sea lies before the next coast, enough for large swells to build.
The sea floor is still within the shallow coastal margin 1 km out; 3 km offshore the depth is about 49 m. Behind the beach the ground is about 29 m above sea level 500 m inland and 90 m at 1.5 km.
Within 1 km, the land is 79% tree cover, 15% shrubland and 3% grassland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a largely natural setting. Water makes up 21% of that circle.
