Apollo beach

We stumbled upon a serene and secluded cove accessible only by a dirt road, while scouring the map for a camping spot. It's devoid of any amenities, which adds to its charm. However, the Apollon site located right behind the beach, is a blemish on the environment, with its manicured lawns and fences that encroach upon the natural habitat. Similarly, the Akliman bay on the left side is dotted with Bodrum-like sites, constructed by converting olive groves into plots of land, which is a shame as it spoils the natural beauty of the place. The area boasts of stunning historical ruins, but unfortunately, the same mentality that has cordoned off most of the olive groves, has also destroyed the naturalness of these historical sites. It's evident that the municipality is more interested in making money than preserving the natural beauty of the place. The olive groves which are marked as 'parcel for sale' are now filled with villas and private properties. Despite the presence of a trash can on Apollon beach, some people still choose to litter. If you plan on camping, make sure you come prepared and avoid starting a fire. The sea is breathtaking, but the water is cold.

As you make your way towards Aklimana on Babakale Road, you'll come across the Apollon houses and a serene beach that awaits your arrival. The soft sand beneath your feet and the calm, still waters of the sea offer a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. A wooden pier adds to the charm of the beach, though it's important to note that there are no amenities such as showers or restrooms available. As a responsible visitor, please dispose of any garbage in the designated bins near where you parked your car.

This beach has been left untouched, save for a few small alterations. It's a favorite spot for locals who reside in the surrounding areas. The ocean is breathtakingly beautiful, and the scenery is nothing short of magnificent. However, it's important to note that the beach is covered in pebbles and moss, which may not be to everyone's liking. This is the perfect destination for those who prefer peace and quiet over bustling crowds and amenities.

The shoreline is barren and devoid of any sandy stretches. The surrounding area is desolate and uninviting, with no discernible features to capture one's attention. Across the hill, unsightly villas mar the landscape, their appearance ravaged by the elements.

This serene shoreline boasts a peaceful atmosphere, frequently frequented by Apollo site inhabitants. The beach's modest size ensures a low volume of visitors, making it an ideal escape from the crowds. While the beach itself is rocky, a mere 10 meters into the sea reveals a sandy bottom with a gradual incline. Regrettably, amenities such as showers and restrooms are not available.
