I went to the restaurant twice because my first visit was really nice. The second time wasn’t as good, though the food and service were nice. Then the check came. I’d ordered one wine, but was suddenly charged for another, at more than double the price. The bill was 18500 liras, so the money itself wasn’t the main issue. They didn’t correct it, and that’s why I’m leaving this review. Not a nice night at all. Sorry.

I’m talking about the nice beach restaurant. I went a few times in June 2024. It’s open and spacious, with very good seafood and other food. Service was friendly, prompt, and high quality, especially from Erkan, who’s senior and speaks fluent English. The beach has a nice view of the sea and boats, and swimming amenities are available. It’s a nice place for a family gathering. Highly recommendable.

The sea is really nice for swimming. A lot of beach clubs on that street have quite limited swimming areas, so this one is a good option if you like to swim. There are fewer sunbeds than at some nearby clubs, though. Most of the space is tables for sitting and eating, which is fine if you don’t mind that. The Bloody Mary was SO GOOD, and the wine was great. We got a bunch of appetizers, salads, fries, and other things, and everything was delicious.

The food was brilliant, from great burgers and steaks to regional Aegean dishes. The cocktails were great too, and the owners and staff are friendly. The sea was the best I’ve ever swum in: crystal clear, calm, and full of little fish you can see. The sunbeds are very comfortable. Rooms are great, clean, and have comfy beds. I’d definitely get one with a sea view, since the big terrace looks out over 180 degrees of sea. The sunrise view is amazing. I came with no expectations, but I wouldn’t have expected this kind of quality even if I had.
