WHY WE LOVE Kaputas Beach

Kaputaş Beach sits at the base of a steep canyon, where freshwater running through the gorge meets the sea. The water here is striking, almost electric blue. The beach itself is compact, with a mix of coarse sand and pebbles. The cliffs surrounding the gorge are massive and adds to the beauty of this beach. Access is via a long staircase from the road above, which naturally limits how many people make the descent at any given time. Once down, you can enjoy some of the sun loungers or go for a swim in the refreshing water. The combination of its canyon setting, unusual water color, and almost dramatic scenery gives Kaputaş a unique character that’s hard to find elsewhere along Turkey’s coast.
