Geyikli beach

The ocean's temperature is quite refreshing, although it may be a bit chilly for some. Nonetheless, the quality of the water is exceptional and worth experiencing.

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.

At the entrance of the beach lies Köfteci Cuci, where Cuneyt's meatballs are said to be legendary. The taste lingers on the palate, but when purchasing items from the grocery store across the street, it is important to pay attention to the prices. Unfortunately, there is no price information for sister, and the rounding of numbers can be weird. For those seeking a more budget-friendly option, the empty area next to the paid beach area allows for visitors to bring their own chairs. Additionally, tents and caravans are welcome for future stays. The gendarmerie frequently patrols the area, ensuring safety for all. While there is a municipal toilet and shower available, it appears to have been in dire need of cleaning since its installation. It seems that the municipality is not functioning efficiently in Geyikli, as evidenced by the constant piles of garbage at the entrance of the beach. If the area were to be cleaned more frequently, it would greatly improve the overall experience. Unfortunately, there seems to be no one in charge of maintaining the minister of the beach.

The seaside boasts a picturesque stretch of sand that is truly breathtaking. However, the gusty winds can be a bit of a nuisance on a daily basis. Fortunately, there are plenty of cafes located in close proximity for a quick bite or refreshing drink. We typically gravitated towards the quieter villa area where the weekday crowd was sparse. Be warned, the weekend can get quite busy with visitors flocking to the beach. The only downside is the lack of shower facilities, but we managed just fine utilizing the restrooms at the nearby cafes.

The beach and the ocean are truly magnificent. However, it is important to note that the sunbeds come at an additional cost. The water can be quite chilly and slightly rough at times. Nevertheless, there are numerous cafes in close proximity that cater to your food and beverage desires, and the prices are reasonable. The highlight of this beach experience is undoubtedly the breathtaking sunset view from the pier in the evening.
