Orta Mahalle Halk Plajı

About Orta Mahalle Halk Plajı

Orta Mahalle Halk Plajı is a free public beach in Özdere, on the Menderes coast south of İzmir, and one of the district's Blue Flag beaches. Visit İzmir, the tourism portal of İzmir Metropolitan Municipality, describes it as a Blue Flag public beach in Özdere. The beach has held the Blue Flag every year from 2013 to 2025 according to the Blue Flag Turkey programme run by TÜRÇEV, which lists Menderes Municipality as the responsible body, and it was again among the Menderes beaches on the 2026 Blue Flag list reported in May 2026. The Blue Flag record gives the beach length as 1,233 metres. Özdere has a long stretch of coast that, together with Ahmetbeyli, runs to about 30 km according to Visit İzmir, so the beach makes a good base for a swimming day out from İzmir. The municipal Özdere Gençlik Parkı, a 12,000 square metre park in Orta Mahalle, is also in this neighbourhood.
