Sunday Beach Guide
It's time to leave all the stress of the week behind and dive into the cool waters of the sea. While Sundays can sometimes be crowded, choosing the right beach can provide a peaceful escape. Here are our top beach recommendations for Sundays.
Close to the City Center and Lively
1. Caddebostan Beach (Istanbul)
Ideal for those living in Istanbul who don't want to travel long distances. With its wide sandy beach, social facilities, and easy access, it's a perfect spot to enjoy a Sunday. It's regularly inspected for cleanliness. It's recommended to grab a sunbed early on Sunday mornings.
2. Florya Güneş Beach (Istanbul)
One of the most popular choices on the European side. Its shallow waters make it especially safe for families with children. The resort also features walking paths and recreational areas. It attracts a large crowd on Sundays.
3. Ayayorgi Bay (Çeşme)
One of the Aegean's entertainment hubs. It's a must-see destination for those who want to spend their Sundays not only swimming in the sea but also enjoying DJ performances and sunset parties. Be prepared for prices here to be a bit higher than in the city center.
Calm and Intertwined with Nature
4. Kabak Bay (Fethiye)
This bay, which preserves the undiscovered feel of Fethiye, is perfect for those seeking a complete escape from the city's hustle and bustle. While access is a bit challenging, its tranquility and natural beauty will soothe any weariness you may have. Eco-friendly guesthouses and camping options are also available.
5. Kaputas Beach (Kas/Kalkan)
Kaputaş, famous for its turquoise waters that extend beyond Turkey, offers a stunning view nestled between cliffs. It can get crowded on Sundays, so be prepared to climb the long stairs down to the beach. Don't forget to bring water and snacks; facilities are limited.
6. Ölüdeniz Lagoon (Fethiye)
This area, designated a National Park, is ideal for those seeking a calm, windless Sunday. The lagoon's calm waters offer a safe environment, especially for beginner swimmers and young children.
Special Recommendations for Sunday
Remember, Sunday is the busiest beach day. If you're looking for a quieter environment, choose coves further away from the city center or try to reach popular beaches before 9:00 a.m. Always bring sunscreen, a hat, and plenty of water. Have fun!
