Water temperature…
Keşan is a district of Edirne province, serving as the primary gateway to the Saros Gulf. The gulf is scientifically noted for its self-cleaning water currents, which maintain exceptional water clarity year-round. Coastal villages like Erikli and Yayla experience a massive population surge during the summer due to domestic tourism. The coastline of the Saros Gulf provides numerous swimming spots. Erikli Plajı and Uzunkum Plajı are among the widest sandy beaches in the region. Other notable stretches include Mecidiye Plajı, Altunhan Plajı, and the family-oriented Yayla Sahili Halk Plajı. Mischa Beach provides organized tourist infrastructure for daily visitors. Beyond summer tourism, the local economy relies heavily on agriculture, particularly sunflower and wheat cultivation. The urban center of Keşan is located about 30 kilometers inland from the beaches, functioning as a major transportation hub connecting Greece, the Dardanelles, and Istanbul.
