It's a public beach that could be considered untouched. But the sea is clean and beautiful, but it was windy and the weather was terrific. There were waves.

It's a place I've been visiting for years. It used to be a quiet bay, with the clearest sea in the Marmara Sea. Now, with the influence of social media, you're left with nowhere to go.

This bay is a concrete example of how low our people's education and moral values are...many photos and videos could be added everywhere like this, as you move a little further through the reeds and grass, you can see the effects of the toilet smells...

It's a sandy, clean beach, but there are no businesses or changing rooms. We decided against setting up a tent to change clothes because the police came twice to warn us and then removed the tents. Changing clothes proved quite difficult.

I've been going for two or three years. It's a calm bay with a pristine sea. The sand is beautiful. The water is practically drinking water. It can get choppy at times, and the sea washes away its debris, but the next day, it's crystal clear. I usually camp there for three or four days. They said there were pigs, but I haven't encountered any yet. Unfortunately, there are no restrooms or showers in the bay, but you can go to Turankoy to take care of your needs. There's a camping area at the entrance to Turankoy where you can shower and restroom. It's a very small fee. There are also markets in the center, so you can shop there. I've tried to share everything I know. However, please be environmentally conscious when you visit. Pick up your trash as soon as you arrive, and even pick up anything you notice. Let's preserve our clean areas. Thank you.
