Cardak - all beaches

Looking for a beach that's as pristine as a freshly polished diamond? Look no further, my friend! This seaside spot boasts some of the clearest water you'll ever lay eyes on, not to mention a beach that's so clean, you could eat off it (although we wouldn't recommend it). After stuffing your face at one of the nearby restaurants, take a leisurely stroll along the shore and soak up the sun. Trust us, it's the perfect way to work off that extra kebab. So if you happen to be making the trek from Istanbul to Izmir, do yourself a favor and swing by this slice of paradise. Spend a couple of hours basking in the beauty of this Turkish treasure, and you'll be glad you did.

TROİA HELEN BEACH

This beach is really great. The water isn't as clear as the Efean Sea, but it's still suitable for a quick dip. The staff are incredibly friendly, making it a highly recommended spot.

We went for fishing, but the beach is overcrowded and poorly maintained.

Yes, it is undeniably stunning, although there appears to be a slightly excessive amount of waves, the water depth is average, and the overall surroundings are truly picturesque.
