Bitez Otel

Bitez beach is a lovely, clean, long stretch, with gorgeous mountain views on both sides. There are lots of sun loungers, but still enough room for children to play with a bucket and spade. They can also try to catch tiny fish in the sea. As usual in Turkey, the locals were very friendly and couldn't do enough for you.

There are plenty of sunbeds and shaded umbrellas, and once you've ordered a very expensive drink you can stay as long as you like. It's fairly clean too, with lots of shops to look around for souvenirs and plenty of restaurants to choose from. It's crowded and has a beach club feel, with loud music, so it won't suit you if you want a quiet, calm beach. For some people, though, it's paradise.

Everyone was so welcoming that we felt like part of the family. It’s a family-run hotel, and the service was great. The location is handy too, close to everything.

The views are beautiful. Grab a sunbed, then pay for whatever food and drinks you order. There are water sports on the beach too, and the ringo ride was an amazing experience!
