A
nice
private
beach
for
covered
women
or
any
women
who
would
like
to
freely
go
to
a
beach
without
being
stared
at
by
strange
men.
I
really
appreciate
the
efforts
in
accommodating
for
women
only.
Getting
to
the
beach
is
a
10
min
uphill
walk
from
the
main
road/village
center.
As
far
as
I
know,
there's
no
shuttle
that
takes
you
up
to
the
beach
from
the
main
road.
So
you
walk
uphill,
but
once
you
reach
uphill,
there
is
a
shuttle
that
drives
you
in
2
mins
(5
min
walk)
to
the
beach.
If
you
need
to
head
back
to
the
main
center
near
the
public
beach,
you
walk
back
down
10
mins.
Really
didn't
see
any
logic
or
purpose
for
the
shuttle
if
it's
not
going
to
take
me
to
or
from
the
village
center,
instead
I
had
to
walk
back
downhill
10
mins.
You're
lucky
if
you
have
a
car,
because
there's
an
otopark
as
soon
as
you
reach
uphill.
I
don't
think
there's
an
entrance
fee,
as
I
wasn't
asked
to
pay
anything
when
I
arrived
(it
was
a
weekday).
The
beach
itself
is
a
little
small,
so
it
can
get
crowded
quickly
on
the
weekends
or
holidays.
The
view
is
beautiful.
The
water,
although
very
clear
and
clean,
was
quite
shallow.
The
deepest
end
until
the
rope
barrier
was
up
to
my
knees
and
I'm
pretty
short.
Perfect
for
taking
little
kids.
There's
some
areas
with
algae
and
rocks,
but
overall
it's
all
sandy
under
the
water
with
minimum
rocks.
So
no
rocks
bothering
your
feet
and
no
need
to
wear
water
shoes
or
flip
flops
in
the
water.
Swimming
may
not
be
an
option
at
this
beach,
since
the
water
is
so
shallow.
If
you'd
like
to
swim,
the
mixed
public
beach
on
the
other
side
has
a
deep
end.
You
can
rent
sun
chairs
and
umbrellas,
but
get
there
early
or
they're
gone.
Or
bring
your
own
things.
There's
a
restaurant
where
you
can
order
food
and
drinks
or
bring
your
own
stuff.
You
can
also
charge
your
phone
as
there
are
outlets
by
the
tables,
but
no
wifi.
There
are
private
lounge
areas,
which
I
think
you
have
to
get
there
early
for
or
they're
also
gone.
A
little
uphill
is
this
lovely
forest
with
cute
picnic
gazebo
areas,
where
you
can
sit
and
eat
in
the
shade.
There
are
changing
cabins
with
showers
installed
inside,
however,
no
hooks
or
benches
inside
any
of
the
stalls
to
hang
or
place
your
belongings.
So
if
you
have
to
change
your
clothes,
either
bring
a
person
with
you
to
hold
your
belongings
or
good
luck
if
you're
on
your
own!
Also,
biggest
problem
I
had
was
that
there
was
no
toilet/WC
anywhere-
neither
in
the
restaurant
nor
the
changing
cabins
area.
So
if
you
need
the
toilet,
go
all
the
way
back
to
the
public
beach
area/village
center,
or
good
luck!
Maybe
less
cabins
and
more
toilets
are
needed
especially
since
women
are
bringing
their
children
with
them
as
well.
I
wish
they
would
consider
these
things
also.
If
they're
going
to
accommodate,
then
go
all
the
way-
give
us
every
ammenity!!
:-)
Also,
be
aware,
the
toilets
near
the
public
beach,
although
very
clean
and
fully
supplied
(soap/water/paper
towels),
are
majority
eastern
toilets.
There's
only
1
western
toilet,
the
rest
are
eastern.
If
the
western
one
is
taken
and
it's
an
emergency,
then
get
ready
to
squat!!
:-D
You
can
easily
spend
one
day
here
and
it's
enough.
There's
a
fortress,
mosque,
and
a
small
village
center
with
fish
and
pide
restaurants,
a
small
organic
fruit/veggie
market,
swim
supply
stores,
a
şok
market
and
Bim
(for
groceries
and
other
goods),
a
public
bus
stop
and
minibuses/taxis
are
available.
About
1.5
hrs
away
from
main
Istanbul
by
public
transport.
