Editorial Assessment

While Florya Güneş Beach is a beautiful and charming seaside retreat in Istanbul, it does not possess the unique geological features required for a high iconic landmark rating. It is cherished for its relaxing atmosphere and accessibility, offering an enjoyable escape within a vibrant city.

I think it's very nice in the summer, but unfortunately it's closed now, which is a shame. You can only walk along the beach on the way to the shopping center and the outlet.

It was really terrible, the prices are not worth talking about anyway, the sea is full of seaweed, anyone with sense should not go, it's not worth it, it's a really bad place.

Great beach and reasonable prices for snacks and food. They have entrance fee which but not very much. They have areas to get changed with was useful and showers to rinse off the sand. Sun beds are scattered around but it best to come early to secure one or maybe later on. Water was warm and the view is nice. Water was calm when I went so great place to spend time with the family or as a couple
