Latest reviews on Faralya's beaches

Billy beach
10 Cameron Hayes

We attended a wedding at the beach, and the location was absolutely stunning. The beach has a lovely sandy shoreline, and it's even perfect for taking a refreshing swim.

Oludeniz beach
2 Z X

This beach is meant to be a protected nature area, but it is completely overrun with garbage left behind by countless tourists. The beaches, the surrounding environment, and the water are all polluted, evident from the visible oil and fuel residue left by the numerous tourist boats. Additionally, the prices at the shops, bars, and cafés are unreasonably high considering the quality they offer. Shade is scarce, and the majority of people here are either rowdy tourists or families with noisy children. We have no intention of returning. A much more enjoyable way to appreciate this once beautiful beach is by taking a paragliding flight and admiring it from above.

Gemile Bay II

This beach offers a truly luxurious experience that exceeded my expectations. Staying here felt like a dream come true. The villas have large windows that provide stunning views of the beautiful hills in the distance, as well as the Mediterranean sea. The scent of Jasmine in the breeze adds to the tranquil atmosphere. The beach itself is secluded and feels like a little piece of paradise. The villas are incredibly well-crafted and made with high-quality materials. They are truly a work of art. Additionally, the onsite restaurant serves delicious Turkish delicacies made with locally sourced ingredients. This attention to detail and commitment to luxury make this beach worth every penny.

Kumburnu beach

Overall, my experience at the beach was truly delightful. The ample parking space, diverse range of beaches, and abundance of shaded areas to lounge with your belongings were all noteworthy features. Additionally, the availability of toilets, showers, and changing rooms made the experience even more convenient. Although the surrounding scenery was not particularly noteworthy, it was a breeze to swim to the opposite rock where I was able to observe some beautiful fish. All in all, it was an incredibly peaceful and rejuvenating day trip, and I would definitely recommend it to others. The entrance fee was well worth the experience.

Kelebekler Vadisi beach
8 Aurora Valtair

This place is absolutely stunning and I wish I had more time to explore it. Walking through the valley was incredibly peaceful. Just a heads up, the waterfall and butterflies are only around during certain times of the year, with March being the best time to visit. If you want to fully experience this place, skip the cruise boats and plan a private trip instead.

Kidrak beach
6 Nate Ross - Journey Youthful

The beach was splendid, impeccably maintained, and the entrance fee was reasonable at 13 tl per person. However, the exorbitant charge of 400 tl for a shaded spot was preposterous.

The warmest month during the year in this area is August, with the air temperature rising up to 31.8°C and the water temperature up to 29.1°C. The coldest month is January, with the air temperature dropping down to 8.8°C and the water temperature down to 18.6°C.
