Degirmenduzu beach

Avoid this beach at all costs! The ocean is abuzz with activity and the rocks are dangerously slick, especially at night when the mosquitoes are out in full force. To make matters worse, foxes roam freely and there's even a fisherman who attracts lice. I'm currently writing this review from my tent, unable to sleep due to the noise. Save yourself the trouble and find a more peaceful spot to rest, unless you enjoy falling asleep to the sound of crickets at dawn.

Upon our arrival, we were greeted with a disheartening sight - a towering heap of garbage that stood at a staggering height of two meters, occupying the entirety of the small parking lot. It was baffling to comprehend how such a stunning country could be marred by such destruction. The thought of taking a dip in the nearby waters was repulsive, and we promptly decided to abandon our plans and head back without further ado.

In August, I ventured to this beach despite the treacherous road conditions. It is imperative that those who dare to make the journey do so with a suitable vehicle and tires. However, the effort is well worth it as the scenery is truly breathtaking. The vibrant hues of green and blue create a serene and captivating atmosphere. It is important to note that sea shoes are a must-have for swimming in the sea, and the issue of garbage is unfortunately prevalent. Diving enthusiasts should take caution to ensure the cleanliness of the area. Although the region has been developed for permanent residency, the organization of basic cleaning measures has been unsuccessful. For those interested in diving, there is an option to pay for a Discover dive with the assistance of local divers for 250 TL. However, the cost for a basic diving certificate with a two-day training is 2500 TL and relatively expensive compared to other locations. While I enjoyed my discovery dive, I would not recommend this beach for diving training. Nonetheless, I would happily return for the natural beauty and stunning sea.

This bay is absolutely stunning. The shoreline is made up of smooth stones and pebbles, so it's best to wear slippers when venturing into the sea.

As a center for amphibian diving, we eagerly await those who seek to discover the mysteries of the underwater world. Our doors are open to all who desire to witness the beauty of the ocean and its inhabitants, from the majestic sharks to the curious crabs and the elusive octopuses. Come and join us on this journey of exploration and discovery.
