Sarimsakli Beach




Sarimsakli Beach is located near Kucukkoy just outside of Ayvalik. This 7 km long beach, which is a 100 metres wide in places, is very popular during the summer season.The word Sarimsak in Turkish means garlic so Sarimsakli Plaj is Garlick Beach but I promise you there is not a clove of garlic in sight and the beach doesn’t smell of garlic either.


Sarımsaklı Plajı, Ayvalık’ın hemen dışında, Küçükköy yakınlarında yer alır. 7 kilometre uzunluğunda ve bazı yerlerde 100 metre genişliğe ulaşan bu plaj, yaz sezonunda oldukça popülerdir. Türkçede “sarımsak” kelimesi “garlic” anlamına gelir; dolayısıyla Sarımsaklı Plajı’nın adı İngilizce’ye çevrildiğinde “Garlic Beach” olur. Ancak içiniz rahat olsun, ortalıkta tek bir diş sarımsak bile yok ve plajın sarımsak gibi koktuğu da yok!
