When to go
The beach-day index peaks in June–September; July scores 9.6/10 with highs of 30 °C, sea at 23.0 °C and 10 mm of rain.
In July that is 0.5 points above the median of the 156 beaches in Turkey covered by this atlas.
At its warmest the water here is 1.8 °C cooler than the Turkey median for August (25.0 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 18.7 °C, cooler than 51% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
December is the wettest month (92 mm) and August the driest (8 mm); the yearly total is about 610 mm.
Daylight runs from 9.4 hours in December to 14.9 hours in June; in mid-July the sun rises at 05:56 and sets at 20:39 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces west (275°). Open water fills about 50% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
The sun sets over the sea in every month; in mid-June it goes down at 20:40 local time on a bearing of 302°.
Straight out to the 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 9 m deep and 31 m at 3 km, a shallow, gently shelving sea floor. Behind the beach the ground is about 9 m above sea level 500 m inland and 11 m at 1.5 km, a flat coastal plain.
Within 1 km, the land is 39% built-up land, 24% tree cover and 17% cropland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a partly built-up setting. Water makes up 48% of that circle.
- Built 39%
- Tree 24%
- Crop 17%
- Grass 16%
