When to go
The beach-day index peaks in June and September; June scores 9.6/10 with highs of 29 °C, sea at 24.8 °C and 16 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 4.0 °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.
January is the wettest month (182 mm) and August the driest (4 mm); the yearly total is about 850 mm.
Daylight runs from 9.7 hours in December to 14.7 hours in June; in mid-June the sun rises at 05:37 and sets at 20:17 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south-east (145°). Open water fills about 56% of the horizon close by, which makes it an exposed spot with water on most sides.
The sun sets over the sea in December–January; in mid-December it goes down at 17:42 local time on a bearing of 241°.
Sunrise is over the sea in every month.
Straight out to the south-east 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 84 m deep and 321 m at 3 km, so deep water starts close to shore. Behind the beach the ground is about 8 m above sea level 500 m inland and 14 m at 1.5 km, a flat coastal plain.
Within 1 km, the land is 37% built-up land, 29% tree cover and 20% grassland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a partly built-up setting. Water makes up 70% of that circle.
