The guides told us that sewage is dumped into Chalysh, I certainly questioned this information, but after swimming in Chalysh, my son had diarrhea for 1 day. It's expensive to go to other beaches every day, taxis are pricey, Chalysh is right next to us, but the fact is that it's very dirty.
We live 10 meters from the sea, swam for 5 days in a row. Chalysh. Everyone is alive, healthy, happy. We like the sea.
We swam several times a day and went diving for two weeks. Everything is good. We went with a group that had 2 children.
We swam there for three weeks in June, and every year too. There were never any questions. Yes, the water is murky, but trash washes up on any beach and in any bay where there are people.
In Oludeniz, they also dump, especially noticeable when the tourist peak occurs.
Good morning! We spent two weeks at Chalysh Beach. Two adults and two children. Everything was wonderful.
In Oludeniz, the water looks crystal clear (which cannot be said about Calis).
@Tat'yana: Not always, it depends on the current flow)
@Violet: So, we don't have to focus on the sewer and can roam to other beaches, just go calmly swim in Chalyshe.
@Tat'yana: The weather in Chalysh is great in the morning. In the afternoon, yes, the wind and ripples stir up the water.
@Tat'yana: The water is murkier at Chalysh, but in Oludeniz, sometimes there's quite a bit of mud floating in the "clearest water."
@Aleks: We didn't catch the dirt.
@Tat'yana: We've been swimming here for several years, everything is fine. With children, without diarrhea)) if you pay attention to minimal hygiene for yourself and the kids. And the water is clean, murky yes, but there is also sand here. As for the sewage, you can see it if it was flowing. The dirt on the beach, like everywhere in Turkey unfortunately, comes from people again... Don't throw cigarette butts and other trash, it will be cleaner.
