If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Kızılot, you can consider how important the beach and protected nature should be for your trip. Here, the coast, protected nature and green spaces come together as defining features.

An important habitat for sea turtles

There are nesting areas for loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) along the coasts of Kızılot, which have been fenced off for protection. There is also a sea turtle nesting area at Kızılot Halk Plajı. Kızılot Yuvalama Kumsalı is one of the largest sea turtle nesting sites in the Mediterranean region. This makes the coastal town interesting not only as a beach destination, but also as a place shaped by efforts to protect these animals. Warning signs in German, English, Russian and Turkish have been put up at the sea turtle nesting areas along the coast of Kızılot.

Space for different activities

Kızılot Halk Plajı ve Mesire Alanı offers several specific amenities in addition to its walking paths. A children's playground appeals to families who also want to consider play facilities when choosing a holiday destination. There is also a freely accessible outdoor sports area. This means that within the grounds, relaxing among greenery, exercise and play are available as different options, without requiring you to plan a set daily schedule.

There are 19 gazebos for picnics; they are suitable for picnics without grilling. This restriction is part of how they are intended to be used and helps with planning if you are thinking of having a meal outdoors. Two kiosks add to the facilities in the area. Kızılot Halk Plajı offers regular beach services as well as safety measures for visitors. The grounds also have two lifeguard towers.

Practical information for your stay

There is parking for 150 vehicles for visitors travelling to Kızılot Halk Plajı ve Mesire Alanı. Toilets, showers and changing rooms are also among the facilities on site. These amenities are useful points of reference when planning a beach-focused stay.

Kızılot also has a covered market hall, built on a site measuring 6,045 square metres. Together with the coastal area, it gives the town a character shaped by both the beach and nature and public facilities. When choosing a holiday apartment, you can therefore first decide whether your trip should focus mainly on time by the sea, walks and green spaces, or on experiencing different aspects of the town. The 15,000 square metres of green space in the coastal area is more than twice the size of the 6,045-square-metre site of the covered market hall in Kızılot.
