Walk before you swim
Palamutbükü is where the villages of Yaka and Cumalı reach the sea. Follow the shore to find a spot you like. Water shoes can make the pebbly stretches easier on your feet.
Leave the afternoon open
Finish with a walk by the fishing boats. If you plan to continue to Knidos, check the last admission time first and work backwards to decide when to leave the beach.
A three-stop itinerary
- Start by the fishing harbour. Watch the smaller boats at their berths, then turn towards the long beach.
- Follow the waterfront and compare stretches of sand and shingle before choosing your place to swim.
- Finish at a restaurant along the shore. If buying fish by weight, ask for the total after weighing and before ordering.
