💡 Tips

  • A morning walk along the coast avoids the intense midday heat during the summer months.
  • Dolmuş (shared minibuses) are the most cost-effective way to travel to nearby beaches and attractions. Look for the signboards in the front window.
  • Cash is still king in smaller local shops and markets, so keep some Turkish Lira handy.
  • Always carry a bottle of water and apply plenty of sunscreen; the Mediterranean sun is very strong.
