User reviews

"The beach has a wonderful sea with clean water; however, there was some litter on the beach. It would greatly improve the experience if visitors could refrain from leaving their garbage behind."

Kadir Şahin

"This beach holds sentimental value for me, and my family goes camping here every year. However, it's disheartening to see the large number of people who leave their garbage behind. It seems like the local authorities are neglecting the cleanliness of this place."
