User reviews
"The beach on Heybeliada is pretty nice, better than some others, but the water isn't very clean. I saw some crabs while swimming with goggles, which was cool. The water is about 2.5 meters deep and gets deeper quickly. If you're not a strong swimmer, consider wearing a life vest as it can be challenging to swim there."
Lorelei Wintermute
"I had a great time at the beach, especially since it was my first time on an island. They were accommodating and allowed us to pay with a bank transfer when we didn't have cash. I would definitely visit again during the week when it's 100 TL instead of 200. The staff was friendly and the beach was clean. While there was no toilet paper, there were small buckets with faucets ..."
