💡 Tips

Reach the beach safely by using the underpasses beneath the busy D400 highway that divides the village from the sea.
The beach in Çenger is mostly pebbly, so bringing a good pair of water shoes is highly recommended for comfortable swimming.
Take a local dolmuş (minibus) from the main road for cheap and easy day trips to the bustling markets of Manavgat or Side.
While the big all-inclusive hotels dominate the coastline, you can find quieter, local tea spots further inland in the original village.
The sea here deepens quite quickly compared to other parts of the Riviera, so keep a close eye on young children.

Its strategic location on the D400 highway allows for easy day trips to the Manavgat Waterfalls or the ancient ruins of Side.
