Can you find a beach near Istanbul?
You can. There are a few small beaches in the city, but for a real day by the sea most locals drive north to the Black Sea, and Sile is among the best-known resort towns on that coast. It is open sea, the sand stretches wide and the air feels fresher than downtown. This is the simplest way to fit a beach day into your Istanbul stay without a flight to the Mediterranean.
Is swimming possible in the Black Sea at Sile?
Yes, during summer. On some days the Black Sea has waves and currents. The venue has a pool as well, so you still have calm water when the sea is rough. Follow the lifeguard flags and the venue's rules at all times, and watch children closely when they are in the sea.

When is the best time for Sile?
This trip is for summer. The Black Sea beach season lasts from about June to September, and the water is warmest in July and August. June and September are calmer, with fewer people. Weekdays are quieter than weekends, when lots of Istanbul families head the same way. The rest of the year the water is cold, so check with us first if you plan to book in spring or autumn.
Is it a good trip for families?
Very much so; it ranks among our most family-friendly day trips. Kids enjoy having both a pool and a beach, the sunbeds give everyone a home base, and with the transfer you avoid carrying beach bags on public transport. For small children, bring your own swim aids.
What to bring
Swimwear, a towel, high-SPF sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses, flip-flops and dry clothes for the ride home. Have cash or a card for lunch, drinks and snacks at the venue. If you want pictures near the water, a waterproof phone pouch helps.
How to book
