Latest reviews on Büyükada's beaches

Halik Koyu Aile Plaji
2 Lev "The Sark" Sarkisov

The staff at the beach were extremely rude, which completely ruined our experience on the island and negatively impacted our perception of Turkish hospitality. It felt as though the staff believed we had no other options and acted as if they owned the entire sea, beach, and air. As a result, we decided to leave. I would strongly advise avoiding this beach at all costs.

Such a lovely and peaceful place to escape from the hustle and bustle of Istanbul 😂

The entrance fee for the beach is 140 TL on holidays and weekends, and it closes at 7pm, so it's advisable to arrive early. Additionally, there is a ferry that takes you back to the main ferry at 7pm. The beach appears to be very well-maintained, with pristine water. The restaurant offers stunning views, although the portion sizes are quite small for the high prices. I would suggest trying the prawns, but I wouldn't recommend the calamari. It's worth mentioning that there is a possibility of encountering bees.

This beach is not what I would consider a traditional beach. It's more like a concrete platform right by the sea. To make matters worse, they even charged us for parking our bicycles at the tavern on the roadside. And then, on top of that, they charged us an entry fee of 300 Turkish Lira just to use their sunbeds. The sea was filled with numerous jellyfish, particularly the transparent ones, and there was a man attempting to remove them. The prices for food and drinks were reasonable, but my milkshake was practically all milk, with only a 2% flavoring.

From Istanbul, the all-inclusive package for food and drink costs 800 TL, but transportation is not provided. If you opt for small scooters, it will cost you 80 TL. The sea appears calm, but be cautious as the ocean floor is filled with sharp mussel shells and steep stones that can cause severe cuts on your feet. Despite being labeled as a public beach by the municipality, it is actually a private area where an entrance fee of 300 TL is charged. Based on my experience, I would not recommend visiting this beach.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 8 beaches in the island, 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.

The hottest month of the island is August - air temperature during this time warms up to 26.1°C and water up to 22.7°C. The coldest month is February - air temperature drops to 10°C and water to 10.3°C.
