Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Biyik plaji (Istanbul) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Biyik plaji (Istanbul) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Biyik plaji for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

This beach is a hidden gem. I was surprised by how tricky it was to locate the path, but once you find it, you're just a few minutes away from one of the most peaceful and stunning stone beaches in the area. The entrance path is located directly in front of the sign.

Make sure to bring some shoes with you when visiting this beach, as it is rocky and walking barefoot can be quite painful.

This beach is stunning, but it can be a bit tricky to locate. The exact trail entrance to the beach is located at coordinates 40.839185, 29.119177.

We stumbled upon a hidden gem of a beach. While the path may be a bit tricky to locate, Google Maps accurately marks the spot. The descent to the beach requires some climbing, but the rest of the path is straightforward. During our visit on May Day, we had the entire beach to ourselves. The water was invigorating and the sun warmed the sandy shore. Like others have mentioned, there is minimal shade and no amenities, making it a truly natural beach experience. Unfortunately, some visitors neglect to clean up after themselves. We took a moment to do a quick litter pick at the end of our visit, filling a plastic bag with trash left behind by others.
