Besiktas, mejores playas

Such a lovely and peaceful place to escape from the hustle and bustle of Istanbul 😂

The park is stunning and the beach is lovely with a wide shallow area. There are lifeguards and restrooms available, although there are no showers or changing rooms, which is why I gave it 4 stars. The park has plenty of trees and playgrounds suitable for all ages. There is ample parking space for cars and it is conveniently located within a reasonable walking distance to transportation.

Este es un lugar maravilloso para alojarse con una multitud cómoda y amigable. El agua es cálida y las olas son divertidas. El único problema es el sistema de tarjetas. Para hacer compras, necesitas obtener una tarjeta de club y agregar fondos cada vez. Incluso comprar algo tan simple como un helado o una limonada requiere varios pasos. Sería mucho más fácil si los propietarios cambiaran el sistema para que los clientes pudieran pagar la cuenta completa al salir de la playa.

The beach on Heybeliada is pretty nice, better than some others, but the water isn't very clean. I saw some crabs while swimming with goggles, which was cool. The water is about 2.5 meters deep and gets deeper quickly. If you're not a strong swimmer, consider wearing a life vest as it can be challenging to swim there.

Esta isla es una gran escapada de Estambul, a solo una hora de viaje en barco.

The beach is lovely. We paid 150 TL per person (not sure why someone complained about this) and took the boat from the easily visible port. It wasn't crowded on weekdays, which was great. The water was clean.
