Four Yanışlı beaches and the Yanışlı Beach Cave are located next to each other, near the Antalya-Mersin highway, 130 kilometers from the center of Mersin.
It was not possible to find specific names of these beaches, so I will name them by the name of the nearby settlement Yanışlı: the ULU RESORT HOTEL is located on the first beach, the 2nd and 3rd beaches are located 500 meters from the first beach. The fourth beach is located right next to the road, you can only get to it by going down a steep slope.
1st Yanışlı Beach
I will write about it in a separate post as soon as I get here in September 2023.
2nd beach Yanışlı
It is located right behind a gas station and a roadside cafe. There is a place to eat here, and there is an outdoor shower when leaving the beach (near the cafe building).
For me, this is such an ambiguous beach place. Among the advantages – there are almost no vacationers, a beautiful place, good sand and clear sea. On the downside, there is no infrastructure for safe recreation – for example, protective buoys. Considering that there are almost no people here, if something happens, you can only count on yourself. Also, there was a lot of foam near the shore in places and the color of the water was different in some areas, which means that there are reverse currents. It is worth carefully choosing areas for swimming, so as not to be swept into the sea.

The third beach is located between the 1st beach and the cave. You can’t get here on foot. You can swim on the water from the sandy beach. Beautiful quiet deserted sandy beach.
Yanışlı Beach Cave
You can only approach the cave from the water from beach No. 2, you will have to swim about 200 meters. To do this, it is better to have some kind of swimming equipment with you – for example, a board or a boat.

4th beach
If you stop on the road at point 1, which I indicated on the map below, you can take a good photo of this beach, as well as go down a very steep slope to it. It looks very fascinating, but these areas of water painted in a different color scare me a little as a bather, perhaps there are reverse currents here, that is, it is dangerous for swimming.
