Ilıca Plaj is a renowned beach located in Turkey. It is highly regarded for its fine sandy beach and crystal clear waters. The beach extends into the ocean for about 50-100 meters, allowing visitors to wade quite a distance while still being able to touch the bottom. Despite the high temperatures that can reach over 30 degrees, the beach is often cooled by a refreshing breeze, making it a comfortable place to relax.
Despite these issues, many still consider Ilıca Plaj to be one of the best beaches in Turkey. The beach is known to be windy, so it is advisable to check the weather before visiting. To reach Ilıca Plaj from Izmir, visitors can take a bus from Fahrodin Altay Otogar to Cesme.
Visitor reviews highlight the beauty of the beach, particularly its clear water and sandy shore, as well as the refreshing breeze even in high temperatures. The ability to walk far into the ocean while still touching the bottom is also appreciated. However, visitors complain about the lack of cleanliness and waste management, with rubbish and construction debris from nearby developments littering the beach.
