A pebble beach between the centre and the Genoese Castle; the water gets deep quickly.
Değirmenağzı Beach is between the centre and the Genoese Castle, in the Hacıyusuflar neighbourhood. In summer, municipal buses run on the Değirmenağzı route.
It is a pebble beach and gets deep quickly; take care if you go with children.
