When to go
The beach-day index peaks in June–September; July scores 9.8/10 with highs of 31 °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 3.9 °C warmer than the Turkey median for August (25.0 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 22.3 °C, warmer than 69% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
December is the wettest month (174 mm) and August the driest (2 mm); the yearly total is about 830 mm.
Daylight runs from 9.7 hours in December to 14.7 hours in June; in mid-July the sun rises at 05:45 and sets at 20:12 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south-west (225°). 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 August–May; in mid-December it goes down at 17:38 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 4 m. Behind the beach the ground is about 31 m above sea level 500 m inland and 70 m at 1.5 km.
Within 1 km, the land is 68% tree cover, 18% built-up land and 8% grassland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a partly built-up setting. Water makes up 42% of that circle.
