The Best Beaches on the Black Sea Coast
The Black Sea shores are shared between Bulgaria, Turkey, Georgia, Russia, Ukraine and Romania, which all have beaches for every type of traveler. From the busy party hubs with the best summer music festivals to the secluded coves for those who crave serenity, here are the best beaches along the Black Sea Coast.
1. Şile, Turkey
Natural Feature
Though Turkey is a popular summer destination, its Black Sea Coast remains relatively unknown – the Mediterranean sun-soaked coast overshadows the northern side with more amenities, more sun and a greater choice. On the other hand, the Black Sea Coast will offer you fewer crowds and more deserted beaches. Şile is a popular spot with inhabitants of Istanbul, many of whom have summer houses here as it’s just an hour’s drive from the city. The fortress and the lighthouse make the unique skyline of the town, while the beach consists both of rocks and sand.
