Belcekiz Beach

This is one of the world’s most photographed beaches and it adorns many posters advertising trips to Turkey. An aesthetically pleasing arc of sand then pebbles surrounded by a dipping valley then forested mountains, a dead calm bright blue lagoon at one end and protective headlands at both―but you’ll see from the photo that it’s hard to do it justice in words. Very popular with paragliders who soar off the mountains behind it and land safely in the water admiring the view on the way down.
