I will never step foot on the sea or the shore again…
I mean, you open the beaches to the public, but the construction of a changing room and a toilet never comes to mind..
garbage everywhere
everywhere is filth…
It was beyond disgrace.

**Pollution and Hygiene Problems!**

My recent visit to Karataş Beach was a huge disappointment. Unfortunately, the beach suffers from a serious pollution problem. As you can see from the photos, the beach and sea are littered with garbage. It's truly sad that people swim in such a polluted environment.

This poses significant risks to both environmental and human health. Local governments and visitors need to prioritize beach cleanliness. A clean and well-maintained beach will be much more attractive to both locals and tourists.

If these issues are not resolved, it will be impossible to fully enjoy Karataş's beautiful nature and sea. I call on the authorities to urgently address this situation and take the necessary steps to clean up the coast.

I hope this review helps raise awareness among visitors and officials.

Adana / Karataş
A neglected and uncared municipality, everything is a disgrace, a disgraceful beach where you can feel like you are in Bangladesh.
Complete Karataş Restoration is Needed. The District is in a Miserable State.
Scores 1/10

This beach is beyond disgusting. I've been coming here for years, for God's sake, won't the municipality ever do its job?! Beer bottles everywhere, plastic filth everywhere. Every time I come, I pick up people's trash. Can't anyone even take care of these beautiful beaches for a single day? What is this municipality doing, what are these staff doing? Why aren't these places being taken care of? This Adana has been desolate for years. Even though I hate the party, I hope they win the municipal elections.
