When to go
The beach-day index peaks in June and August–September; June scores 9.6/10 with highs of 28 °C, sea at 23.6 °C and 12 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 3.2 °C warmer than the Turkey median for August (25.0 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 21.8 °C, warmer than 68% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
January is the wettest month (225 mm) and August the driest (3 mm); the yearly total is about 960 mm.
Daylight runs from 9.7 hours in December to 14.6 hours in June; in mid-June the sun rises at 05:43 and sets at 20:19 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south (174°). Open water fills about 39% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
The sun sets over the sea in June–July; in mid-June it goes down at 20:19 local time on a bearing of 300°.
Sunrise is over the sea in November–January.
Straight out to the south 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 114 m deep and 107 m at 3 km, so deep water starts close to shore. Behind the beach the ground is about 19 m above sea level 500 m inland and 352 m at 1.5 km, with hills rising behind it.
Within 1 km, the land is 68% tree cover, 18% shrubland and 6% built-up land (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a largely natural setting. Water makes up 56% of that circle.
