The water quality was poor and the beach was excessively crowded, despite it being a Monday when we visited.
Similar to many beaches in the bay, the surface water here is warmer, and the bottom is predominantly sandy. The water remains shallow for a considerable distance from the shore. This makes it an excellent beach for kids, as the shallow water extends far out. My son, who prefers to snorkel only where he can stand, enjoyed snorkeling over long distances here.
The Peramas Geras windmill is located just outside the Papados settlement of Geras, directly facing the Surlaga tannery. Historically, it was used to grind oak for the tannery's purposes.
The tomato sauce is absolutely fantastic. It's hands down the best I've ever had at a restaurant. The host is incredibly charming and clearly has a deep love for both his restaurant and his tomatoes.
The beach offers a stunning, secluded, and unspoiled setting. On weekends, the entrance fee is 400 TL per person, and on weekdays, it is 200 TL per person. I highly recommend visiting if you find yourself in Dikili.
