Yes. Rumeli Kavağı Beach on the Bosphorus shore is an alternative to the district's Black Sea beaches and sits in a more sheltered spot than the open sea. Current information and photos are on the listing detail page.

Entry conditions vary from beach to beach. For up-to-date information, you can check the listing details of the beach you are interested in.

As most of the beaches face the open Black Sea, the sea can be wavy at times. Before swimming, it is important to check the weather and sea conditions and to follow the warning flags on the beach and, if present, the lifeguards' instructions.

Sarıyer is one of the leading districts within İstanbul's provincial borders where you can swim in the sea. The beaches along the Kilyos, Uzunya and Rumeli Feneri line are often chosen for a day trip to the sea.

The swimming season is mainly in the summer months. As the Black Sea water is cooler than on the southern coasts, the busiest period is between June and September.
