Latest reviews on Canakkale's beaches

Etap Altinel Hotel beach
8 Lorin Zephira

There is a significant amount of litter scattered across the beach, and unfortunately, there is a beach attendant from the nearby Etap hotel who is quite impolite.

Kotti beach
10 Elias Jansen

We had an amazing dining experience at Moonlight! The staff and service were exceptional. The food was homemade and the fresh fish was excellent. The price was reasonable considering the quality, especially the generous portion sizes. We had a great time and will definitely be returning with pleasure ☺️.

Kaldera-Assos beach
10 Gerry

The property offers both bungalow and tent accommodations. The bungalow we stayed in for 2 nights had air conditioning, a bathroom with a toilet, 2 beds (one single and one double), and an electric mosquito repellent, although we didn't need it. The bungalow was spacious enough for 3 people. In the morning, they served a basic breakfast buffet with various items, and for dinner, they grilled fish, meatballs, or chicken with salad. The beach is pebbly, so it's a good idea to wear sea shoes, but there is also a pier, so we had no trouble entering the sea. The sea itself is stunning and full of life. The facility has a diving school, and you can dive in the bay where it's located as well as in the surrounding bays. We also had the opportunity to try scuba diving with Ms. Gülden, and we were extremely satisfied. We highly recommend it. We would like to express our gratitude to Ms. Gülden, Ms. Can, Ms. Nilgun, Ms. Elzem, and the entire team for making our holiday at the facility joyful and beautiful.

Taskapi beach
10 zephyrstorm

We stumbled upon this place 4 years ago and noticed there was a business. Intrigued, we decided to grab a bite to eat and now we make it a point to visit every year. The beach boasts a pristine sea and a gentle breeze that provides a natural air conditioning effect without being overpowering. The owners, who are incredibly friendly and helpful, make you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. They consistently implement new regulations each year to ensure the comfort of their guests. If you're looking for a tranquil spot to swim in a perfect sea, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, I highly recommend getting acquainted with this business and its owners.

Iliada Hotel beach no-photo
8 A. Zemiroğlu

This beach is a peaceful and charming spot that is well-designed and perfect for those seeking tranquility. Although it may be a bit challenging to reach, the effort is definitely worth it, whether you're planning a day trip or a longer vacation. I've visited this beach 2 or 3 times in the past year and a half, and I've always had a positive experience. I highly recommend it.

Geyikli beach
8 Kadir Yıldız (Fikir üreten kişi)

The stretch of beach is quite extensive, yet unfortunately lacks the basic amenities such as restrooms and shower facilities, as the local municipality seems to have overlooked this area. However, there are certain areas where you can spend money to pitch a tent, and restrooms and showers are available for use. As you venture closer to the sea, there are spots where you can set up camp for free, but be aware that there are no restrooms, showers, or even access to fresh water. The beach itself is beautiful, and the conditions vary depending on the season. During the first and middle parts of summer, it tends to get quite crowded. If you're planning a beach day with a group of ten people, I would recommend considering other options.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 15 beaches in the region, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.
