PAMUCAK BEACH: BRIGHT SUNSHINE, DEEP BLUE SEA, A LONG SANDY SHORE AND SEA DAFFODILS
A Natural Wonder Not to Miss for Cooling Off in the Deep Blue Aegean
9 km from Selçuk and 6 km west of the ancient city of Ephesus, Pamucak (Ephesus Beach) stretches for some five kilometers. In places the sandy shore is as much as 80 meters wide. If you come in late spring, summer or early autumn, you can enjoy Ephesus Beach to the full. Selçuk Ephesus has sunshine nearly 300 days a year, and the swimming season runs from May to early October. Along the kilometers of this Blue Flag beach, officially certified for its cleanliness, the sea temperature can reach 25–26 °C in the hottest months (July and August).
If you are looking for a calm, peaceful beach, this is the place for you. Don’t be surprised if the sea daffodils, the shore’s protected flowers, whisper to you that Alexander the Great once passed this way, or that countless kings and queens cooled off in these waters…
As a protected area, the shore remains largely unspoiled. On its beaches you will find showers, toilets, umbrellas, sun loungers, snacks, and alcoholic and soft drinks. The nearby water parks and jeep, ATV and horse safari operators offer plenty of other activities; give them a call to plan your day.
Whether for water sports or camping… or arriving by camper van, you won’t find a more convenient beach. For those looking for a more comfortable stay, five-star hotels are close by too. More choice, a more enjoyable holiday!
