Where to Swim in Çanakkale

Start by choosing an island or mainland route. Options to research include Ayazma on Bozcaada, the Geyikli coast in Ezine, and Kadırga and Küçükkuyu in Ayvacık.

Ayazma is a sandy beach on Bozcaada. A mainland day trip requires a ferry crossing and onward transport on the island. Plan your return crossing before leaving.

Geyikli is on the mainland opposite Bozcaada. Select the actual beach as your destination: reaching a ferry pier does not mean reaching a swimming area.

Kadırga and Küçükkuyu are coastal areas listed in the provincial tourism information. Compare travel distance and the facilities of your chosen beach.
