Yahsi beach

This beach was a major disappointment. It was overcrowded with people and sunbeds, leaving little space to relax and enjoy the scenery. The hotels and restaurants had taken up so much of the beach that it felt like there was no beach left at all. To make matters worse, access to the sea was limited to a small scale. The beach was mostly private, so unless you were staying at a hotel, you couldn't enjoy it. The public beach was minuscule and did not make up for the lack of space. Perhaps it would be better to visit this beach during the off-season when it's less crowded, but even then, it's not the best place for snorkeling. We were so disappointed that we ended up spending our time at the pool instead. It's a shame because we had hoped for a better experience.

The food was extremely disappointing. Despite a wide variety of options, unfortunately, none of them were edible. The line for tea was consistently long, and you had to choose between having warm food or warm tea. Additionally, there was a lack of cutlery on the tables. There was no responsible manager in the restaurant to address important issues. Toothbrushes were not provided. Although the waiters were doing their best, there were too few of them to handle the large number of customers. The rooms did not have duvets, only small bedspreads that were used as duvets and quilts, even though the temperature outside was only 17 degrees.

This beach is an absolute gem with crystal clear waters that are simply breathtaking. However, if you plan on snagging a sunbed, be sure to arrive early in the morning as they tend to fill up quickly. Although the limited availability of sunbeds may be a slight inconvenience, it's a small price to pay for such a stunning location. Additionally, there are a few cafes in the area that offer reasonably priced refreshments. Overall, I highly recommend this beach to anyone looking for a peaceful and picturesque escape.
