Turkish Beach Holiday Etiquette
Behavioral does and don'ts
Don't go to the beachside in a same-sex group, it'll reduce your chances of making a personal connection. Go by yourself. The beach is already filled with men and women, so if you take your same sex friends with you, it's like "taking coals to Newcastle" -- or as a Turk would say, it's like "opening a pastrami shop in Kayseri."
Even if you have a great body and exude tons of personality, you'll reduce your chance of romance on some of the more exclusive Turkish beaches by wearing last year's bathing suit. You'll lose out to those wearing the latest fashions. So, don't wear faded gear -- and don't wear clunky clogs. Style is as important as muscle-tone at some of the venues we mention below (and elsewhere) in this Beachcomber's Guide.
Cool Turkish Beach Venues of 2007
In Bodrum --
Maki Beach at Göltürkbükü (Telephone 0-252-377-6105)
This beach is served by the Maki Hotel and it's a favorite of shapely Turkish professional models. Deniz Akkaya and Çagla Şikel are among the many 'beautiful people' of Turkey -- not only female -- who regularly visit.
In Çeşme --
Sol Mare at Aya Yorgi (0-232-712-1461)
Sol Mare is one of the first things that come to mind when you say Çeşme. Foreign and local music fills the air all day long -- and at night make sure you've got reservations wherever you plan to go.
In Istanbul --
Golden Beach Club at Kilyos (0-212-325-5583)
This is great place for various beach sports including body and board surfing in the surprising seaside surf. But it's not just a daytime fun spot -- and from bungalows, to hotel suites, to mansions, there's quite a selection of accommodations in the nearby environs.
