Edit ThisAs the largest city in Turkey, there are over 20 Istanbul beaches available for visitors to rest their head, swim the waters and enjoy other activities. In a big city, with so many places to lay your head, here are a few ideas of the rarest and cleanest Istanbul beaches to visit.
Dalia Beach

Nonstop Beach
Recommended as one of the best day spots in Istanbul Beaches, Nonstop Beach is the place for nonstop activity. From beach sports to water sports, Nonstop Beach has it all. Get in on canoeing, jet skiing and volleyball, then relax and take in some live music at the local beach bar. The best part about Nonstop Beach is that it is less expensive andt packed full of activities for everyone.
True Blue Beach
Notably the best beach spot in Istanbul to set up for the afternoon is True Blue Beach that offers a fine experience for visitors.
