The beach and water are clean, umbrellas and sun loungers belong to the complex, and showers are not available to non-members. It's considered a bit chilly for a Mediterranean climate.

There are no showers or toilets. The sea is rocky and deep quickly. There are sun loungers, showers, and toilets available to members of the Tisan site, but the public cannot use them, even if they pay. It's best to bring your own umbrella and chair. The sea is truly beautiful, with many species of fish.

First of all, the sea is beautiful. It's one of the best seas you can swim in in Mersin. It's clear, calm, and cool. However, along a long stretch of beach, there are sun loungers locked under umbrellas, which are claimed to belong to Tisan members (?), and which visitors are prohibited from using, even if they pay. It's understandable that the site has sun loungers, but it's seriously incomprehensible that they spread them all over the coastline and lock them as if they own the coastline. Similarly, the use of the showers is prohibited to visiting guests. The reason for this is that the municipality doesn't provide services there. There's only one business on the beach, but there are only chairs, and even if you eat, you have to pay for a chair. (300TL per person) The food was also terrible. In summary: the sea is beautiful, but everything else is bad.

Tisan was a place I'd wanted to visit for years but hadn't been able to. This year, when I had the chance, I jumped in. You arrive at the islands via Yeşilovacık Village via a winding, bumpy road. You climb the mountain and descend to the right. It's thrilling to see the islands of Little Tisan and Big Tisan from above. Big Tisan is now a small island, or Tombolo Island, and it's on the isthmus that connects the island to the mainland. The west coast of the isthmus is unused due to the rough and windy weather. The east coast is practically deserted. The right side of the pier is lined with residents' and property's sun loungers, while the left side has a narrow, fine pebble beach, and there are no sun loungers or umbrellas. We sat there with our chairs and umbrellas. We also went to the pier and hopped in between. Prices are high in Tisan, so you can shop at Yeşilovacık for groceries or buy something from a Migros at the entrance to Tisan. Where Big Tisan meets the eastern beach, there are ancient city ruins. We were too lazy to go because it was hot, but if you have time, you can go and see them. The sea is crystal clear and crystal clear. The entrance is a bit rocky, but it deepens to 2-3 meters. If you enjoy exploring new places, I'd love to see you on Instagram @cokgezerkan. I've pinned the coves between Anamur and Silifke to my stories.

It's a place with beautiful sea and views. It has the clearest water I've ever seen, but the surroundings are a huge disappointment. The beach has only residents' lounge chairs and showers. They've shamelessly implemented a card system for showers and changing rooms. It's ridiculous; we've never understood how the residents act as if they own the entire bay just because they bought this place, which used to be a field, 30 years ago. If you don't have your own chairs and umbrella and are looking for a place with access to any services, I recommend avoiding this place. If it hadn't been ruined by the summer residents, it would be a 5-star place.
