People don&#8217;t come here for sandy beaches \u2013 you swim from <strong>built-up rocky platforms<\/strong> and small pebbly coves. So why do people make the trip? For the <strong>unbelievably clear water for snorkelling and diving<\/strong>, and the atmosphere of narrow lanes, great food and complete calm without shouting entertainers. A retreat for couples.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><!-- FOTO: 7 \u2014 Ka\u015f: rocky coastline with turquoise water and anchored boats --><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/turkey-beach-skryte-perly-u-fethiye-butterfly-px.jpg\" alt=\"Hidden gems near Fethiye: Butterfly Valley, Kabak and Gemiler\" class=\"wp-image-231969\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/turkey-beach-skryte-perly-u-fethiye-butterfly-px.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/turkey-beach-skryte-perly-u-fethiye-butterfly-px-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/turkey-beach-skryte-perly-u-fethiye-butterfly-px-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/turkey-beach-skryte-perly-u-fethiye-butterfly-px-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/turkey-beach-skryte-perly-u-fethiye-butterfly-px-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/turkey-beach-skryte-perly-u-fethiye-butterfly-px-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/turkey-beach-skryte-perly-u-fethiye-butterfly-px-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Ekrem Kaptanlar \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Hidden_gems_near_Fethiye_Butterfly_Valley_Kabak_and_Gemiler\"><\/span>12. Hidden gems near Fethiye: Butterfly Valley, Kabak and Gemiler<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For adventurers with a car or a boat. <strong>Butterfly Valley<\/strong> is a deep canyon reached mainly by boat from \u00d6l\u00fcdeniz, opening onto a small, peaceful beach. Nearby lies <strong>Kabak<\/strong>, a mecca for yogis and backpackers with accommodation in tents and cabins. And on the island of <strong>Gemiler<\/strong> you can swim right among half-submerged Byzantine ruins. The perfect counterpoint to the all-inclusive resorts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sea_temperature_and_when_to_hit_the_beach\"><\/span>Sea temperature and when to hit the beach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The swimming season on the coast runs <strong>from May to October<\/strong>. In May the sea is a refreshing 20\u201322 \u00b0C (though the air is already summery), in June it warms to 25 \u00b0C, and the absolute peak comes in <strong>August, when the sea is &#8220;as warm as coffee&#8221; \u2013 28 to 29 \u00b0C<\/strong>. If you can&#8217;t bear extreme heat and crowds, come in <strong>September<\/strong> (water 25\u201327 \u00b0C, beaches thinning out, prices dropping) or in <strong>October<\/strong> (post-season, water around 24 \u00b0C). You&#8217;ll find a detailed breakdown in our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/?p=231792\">when to visit Turkey<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practical_tips_for_Turkeys_beaches\"><\/span>Practical tips for Turkey&#8217;s beaches<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sunbeds \u26a0\ufe0f:<\/strong> At 5* ultra all-inclusive resorts the sunbeds, umbrellas and beach bar are included. On public beaches (Cleopatra, town beaches) you pay for a set \u2013 roughly \u20ac5\u201315 per day; luxury beach clubs in Bodrum or \u00c7e\u015fme charge several times more and often require a minimum spend.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flags:<\/strong> Green = safe to swim, yellow = caution and waves, red = strict no-swimming. In areas like Patara there can be treacherous rip currents, so don&#8217;t ignore the lifeguards&#8217; advice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Water shoes:<\/strong> A must on pebble beaches (Kemer, Konyaalt\u0131).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jellyfish:<\/strong> No need to worry \u2013 they only appear occasionally after strong storms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Blue Flag:<\/strong> An international award for cleanliness and safety \u2013 Turkey has over 500 of them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\"

<strong>Lara<\/strong> near Antalya, in <strong>Side and \u00c7olakl\u0131<\/strong>, at <strong>Cleopatra Beach<\/strong> in Alanya, and in the south at <strong>Patara<\/strong> and <strong>\u0130ztuzu<\/strong> (Turtle Beach with shallow water). On the other hand, pebble beaches (Kemer, Konyaalt\u0131) require water shoes and have a steeper entry.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781011887001\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_most_beautiful_beach_in_Turkey\"><\/span>What is the most beautiful beach in Turkey?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The most iconic is the <strong>Blue Lagoon in \u00d6l\u00fcdeniz<\/strong> \u2013 a turquoise bay surrounded by mountains that you know from the brochures. Among the most beautiful is also the photogenic <strong>Kaputa\u015f<\/strong> between Ka\u015f and Kalkan and the longest sandy <strong>Patara<\/strong>. It depends, however, on whether you want peace and quiet (Patara, \u00c7\u0131ral\u0131), a bustling town (Cleopatra Beach), or family-friendly facilities (Lara, Side).<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781011887002\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_is_the_sea_in_Turkey_the_warmest\"><\/span>When is the sea in Turkey the warmest?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The warmest is in <strong>August (28\u201329 \u00b0C)<\/strong>, but that&#8217;s also when it&#8217;s hottest and most crowded. The best combination of warm water and peace offers <strong>September (25\u201327 \u00b0C)<\/strong> and <strong>October (around 24 \u00b0C)<\/strong>.
