Sea, sun and paradise. Do you know what these three words have in common? Beach holiday<\/a> in Turkey<\/a>! Numerous travelers go to Turkey just for the crystal clear water, warm wind and sultry sun. We collected a selection of the best sandy beaches in the country and found out where Cleopatra herself vacationed, and where Santa was born.<\/p>\n

Cleopatra Beach (Alanya<\/a>)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This is one of the most famous beaches in Turkey and the entire Mediterranean region. This place is suitable for lovers of ancient stories and romantic<\/a> plots. According to legend, Mark Antony wanted to win Cleopatra\u2019s heart so much that he gave her an entire beach. Unique sand was ordered directly from Egypt to make the queen feel at home. Today, thousands of tourists take advantage of the generous gesture of the ancient Roman<\/a> ruler, enjoying a holiday in one of the best parts of Turkey.<\/p>\n

As soon as you see Cleopatra Beach, you will immediately understand why both the legendary queen and ordinary travelers loved it. Dazzling white sand and crystal clear water instantly make you forget about the bustle of the outside world. By the way, vacationers must take a shower before leaving the beach. No, the authorities do not care about personal hygiene. It's all about that sand: it is considered a national treasure and is under special protection of the state, so taking it out from the beach is simply prohibited.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cleopatra Beach has also received international recognition. It is marked with the international Blue Flag certificate. Receiving such an award is not an easy task, because the place must pass 33 criteria<\/a> at the same time! The Blue Flag guarantees everyone a comfortable stay<\/a> and safe conditions.<\/p>\n

By the way, the beach is great for families with children. There are practically no steep slopes or rocks here, and the local climate helps<\/a> people with diseases of the respiratory system.<\/p>\n

Entry to the beach and showers are absolutely free, but you will have to pay for the use of an umbrella and sun lounger. You can relax and have a snack in bars and cafes, and for lovers of active recreation, we advise you to sign up for diving<\/a>, rafting or paragliding.<\/p>\n

Altinkum Beach (Didim)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Altinkum is a cool place to party in Turkey. Don\u2019t think that you can say goodbye to your dreams of peace and tranquility. This is where one of the most picturesque beaches of Didim is located. By the way, he also received the Blue Beach certificate. Now do you understand what quality rest it guarantees?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Altinkum Beach is a dream come true. Just imagine: snow-white sand and calm water, warm sun rays and gentle wind. The kilometer-long beach is not so popular among tourists, so it is perfect for a family holiday in comfortable conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Everyone can try their hand at diving, wind surfing<\/a> or water skiing. Please note that you have to pay for umbrellas and sunbeds. You can go to cafes and bars on the coastline for lunch or dinner.<\/p>\n

Lara Beach (Lara)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you are vacationing in Antalya, you simply must spend time on the most prestigious beach in the region. Here, 10 kilometers of real pleasure await travelers under the warm Turkish sun. This is the third beach in a row with the Blue Flag<\/a> mark in our rating, and its comfort and cleanliness do not need additional advertising.<\/p>\n

A significant part of the territory is divided between hotels, but there are also municipal areas. You have to pay to stay in a special zone, but rest in the city zone is free. The hallmark of Lara Beach is its warm golden sand and sky-blue water, in which you can easily see your own reflection.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here you can rent umbrellas and sun loungers and treat yourself to an unforgettable catamaran trip. Pay attention to nearby establishments and choose the appropriate option to celebrate the evening in the rays of the setting sun.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Please note that there are always a lot of vacationers here. We advise you to walk further away, because after the first 500 meters the number of tourists decreases. The main reward goes to those who reach the end! Lara is perfect for families with children, because the gentle entrances into the water minimize the risk<\/a> of injury.<\/p>\n
