Each bay here has a different soul; some promise adrenaline-filled moments, while others draw you in with their serenity. We start the day at Çark Beach. Even though it's only morning, watching the people taking their surfboards out to sea increases my excitement. This is a beach where the wind never stops and the waves dance with the surfers. After a few hours, I can't resist and jump in the water to take a lesson. Although it seems difficult at first, the more I feel the wind, the freer I feel.

Hidden among the rocks, this bay is a natural wonder with its turquoise waters. It is possible to spend hours here. After diving into the cool waters and swimming, lying on the sand and listening to the waves gives you a great peace.
