Here’s a guide to 7 must-visit beaches that await you in Türkiye.
Patara Beach
Patara, one of Türkiye’s largest beaches, is the perfect choice to relax on a long, white sand beach simply. Stretching 12 kilometres, there is plenty of space for long beach walks and a bit of solitude. If you do leave the sand and sea vistas, check out the ancient city, the rivers and lagoons in the surrounding area.
Kaputas Beach in Kas
Accessed via a 200-step path, this attractive beach marks the meeting point of Kas and Kalkan, two of Antalya’s most popular holiday destinations, which offer some of the most spectacular sunrise and sunset views in Türkiye. Casual restaurants, a white sand beach, and calm seas complete the picture.
Cirali Beach in Kemer
The mountains surrounding the blue waters of the Mediterranean create Cirali Beach with its golden sands. Known for its easy-going ambience and plentiful flora and fauna, Cirali Beach attracts a modest population of nature lovers and individual travellers. The ancient ruins of Olympos, a World Heritage site, are nearby, should you wish to venture further.
Kleopatra Beach in Alanya
This beautiful beach in the foothills of the Taurus Mountains is easily accessible from the city. Cafes and restaurants overlook the white sand beach and palm trees of the lively Kleopatra Beach. Visitors seeking a more active seaside experience can rent a variety of water sports equipment. Travel with Turkish Airlines to Gazipasa-Alanya Airport for a seamless trip to this vibrant beach.
Kabak Bay Beach in Fethiye
Twenty-five kilometres from Oludeniz, Kabak Bay in Fethiye is a world on its own. It’s not immediately accessible; if travelling via public transportation, take the Faralya bus from Fethiye. The one-hour bus ride stops at the hill above the bay. A few minutes’ walk later, you reach the beach and the turquoise bay. Tranquil Kabak Beach attracts nature lovers and yoga enthusiasts thanks to its isolation and lush green surroundings.
Iztuzu Beach in Dalyan
A preferred destination for loggerhead sea turtles, this beach, also known as Turtle Beach, features a pine-covered hill backdrop to the golden yellow sand beach and azure waters. Formed by the meeting of the Dalyan River and the Mediterranean Sea, Iztuzu Beach is ideal for snorkelling, swimming, sunbathing, and surfing. There are very few buildings along the beach, which adds to its appeal. Arrive in style with Turkish Airlines, flying into Dalaman for easy access to Dalyan.
Oludeniz Beach in Fethiye
Set at the meeting point of the Aegean and the Mediterranean Seas, Oludeniz is considered among the world’s most beautiful places. It is famous for its turquoise waters, white sand, and mountains covered with lush forests that extend into the vibrantly coloured sea. A paraglide from Babadag will give visitors an even more spectacular view.
