Pırlanta Plajı

About Pırlanta Plajı

Pırlanta Plajı is a sandy beach near Çiftlikköy, about 10 kilometres from Çeşme town centre. Visit İzmir notes that it is often confused with nearby Altınkum Plajı; it is reached by turning right after passing Çiftlikköy and heading down to the shore. The name, meaning diamond, comes from its fine sand, which glitters in the sun and covers the whole beach. The beach is about 450 to 500 metres long and the sea stays shallow for some 200 metres out, making it well suited to children, families and people learning to swim. The surroundings are a protected site (SİT area) with largely natural scenery. Visit İzmir also mentions it as a good alternative spot for kitesurfers from Alaçatı.
