Florya Gunes beach

The beach was a complete disappointment, as cigarette butts were scattered everywhere. It was the most unhygienic beach I have ever visited. It is unfortunate that the Turkish culture does not prioritize cleanliness and environmental conservation, as evidenced by the state of this beach. Even the chairs and benches were filthy, with yellow cigarette stains and other unsightly marks. The beach was practically deserted, with enough empty seats even on a Tuesday morning. I would advise anyone looking to enjoy a clean and relaxing beach experience to avoid this one in Istanbul. If I had the option, I would give it zero stars.

The Marmara Sea boasts a lovely beach that is under the care of the Istanbul Municipality Administration. The amenities provided are satisfactory, and the beach is kept clean. The sandy shoreline is adorned with charming wooden umbrellas, providing ample shade for visitors. A great restaurant is available for those who want to indulge in delicious meals. The beach is conveniently located near the Florya Aquarium and Florya Mall. Compared to private beaches, the entrance fee is quite reasonable. I recently visited the beach and paid 30 Turkish lira for an adult entry using my Istanbul Card. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, but the only downside was that the water wasn't very clean. However, the lifeguard was vigilant and created a safe environment.

The beach demands an entry fee of 30tl which can be paid through Istanbul card, while students can enjoy a discount of 12tl. However, the beach is not well-maintained and appears to be neglected. The lack of cleanliness is evident and it seems like no efforts are being made to keep it tidy. Visitors are not permitted to bring their own food or water as bags are checked thoroughly. The only option is to purchase refreshments from the crowded cafe, which offers reasonable prices. The beach does provide changing rooms, toilets, and lockers for convenience. Despite these amenities, I would not recommend visiting this beach as the unpleasant odor and uncleanliness are major drawbacks.

Istanbul is surrounded by the Marmara and Black Sea, but finding a good beach can be a challenge. Luckily, this gem stands out as one of the best in the city, boasting soft sand and excellent facilities. Impeccably clean and well-maintained, this beach is a haven for relaxation and comfort. The service staff are top-notch, ensuring that your every need is met. On weekdays, the crowds are sparse, allowing you to bask in the sun and soak up the tranquil atmosphere. I highly recommend this beach for anyone seeking a delightful day at the shore.

During our visit as tourists, we enjoyed the beach's pleasant atmosphere. However, it is important to be cautious of potential robbers who may attempt to deceive and steal from you. Unfortunately, we had a negative encounter with such individuals. If someone appears overly friendly, it is essential not to let your guard down and to bring them to the attention of the police. May those who commit such heinous acts receive the harshest punishment from Allah. Ameen.
