What an extraordinary beach! The proximity of restrooms and a restaurant is a convenient bonus. For a reasonable price of 15 euros, you can rent a beach set, complete with a parasol and two sun beds. The ample free parking is a welcome relief, and the crystal-clear blue water is simply breathtaking. Spending a day basking in the sun on this magnificent beach is an experience you won't soon forget!

White Lake beach
10 Kasim Ozkan.

This secluded beach is a hidden gem, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the popular tourist spots. With only three public umbrellas available for free, along with an equal number of comfortable deck chairs, this intimate spot is truly unique. It's not often that you come across a beach that's so peaceful and uncrowded, and yet so accessible. Just a short drive down a dirt road, with ample parking at the end, and you'll find yourself surrounded by crystal clear blue waters. It's the perfect place to escape from the world and soak up some much-needed relaxation.
