Profile
The ultimate summer playground on Istanbul’s Black Sea coast, famous for its expansive sandy beaches, high-energy beach clubs, and the best windsurfing and kitesurfing conditions in the region.
Escape the city’s humidity and head north to Kilyos, where the wild spirit of the Black Sea meets a modern coastal lifestyle. Once a quiet fishing village, it has transformed into the city’s go-to summer destination for music, sports, and sun-seeking crowds. Unlike the calm waters of the Bosphorus, Kilyos offers vast golden sands and powerful waves that attract surfers and beach lovers from all over the world.
During the day, you can lounge at one of the prestigious private beach clubs that offer everything from gourmet dining to world-class DJ performances. If you are feeling adventurous, the local surf schools are ready to teach you how to ride the Black Sea waves. As the sun sets, the beach bars turn into vibrant party spots, making it a favorite for the city’s younger and more energetic travelers.
Kilyos is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a “vacation within a vacation,” combining a traditional coastal escape with a trendy, upscale beach club culture.
