Spend the morning in the bay
Small businesses line the waterfront. Take a look at the water conditions, find a place for your towel and leave the rest of the morning free for swimming.
Staying overnight
Mesudiye has family-run guesthouses and apartments. Ask the host to mark the property on a map when you book. Two addresses in the same neighbourhood can be quite different distances from the water.
A three-stop itinerary
- Reach the waterfront at Hayıtbükü and follow the curve of the bay before picking a place for your towel.
- Stop for a swim at the sandy beach, then choose an open waterfront spot with shade for lunch.
- For a second bay, continue to nearby Kızılbük. Identify your return stop on the Mesudiye route before moving on.
