We had a great day at the beach. The services were good and the sun beds were excellent, made of comfortable pillows. It was a bit pricey, but definitely worth it. The entrance fee was 600 lira, which included soft drinks, and we also paid 100 lira for parking. Additionally, we enjoyed some drinks there. Overall, we had a fantastic time.
I used to visit this place every few months and I had previously given Sole Mare a 5-star rating. However, I am now changing it to a 1-star rating for the following reasons: - It took me over an hour to get a menu to place an order. - I spent more than 30 minutes just trying to place my order. - After waiting another 30 minutes, the food finally arrived, but it was cold and some items were missing. I had to wait an additional 30 minutes to receive the missing items. - They insisted on immediate payment and tried to overcharge me. I had to argue with them to correct the bill! Furthermore, the staff was extremely rude, even though we were a Turkish group and not tourists or foreigners. The staff members were standing idly somewhere far away while people around us were shouting and asking for assistance! Although the water is fantastic, I will never return to this place and I suggest checking out the other nearby facilities instead.
If you're a tourist and don't speak Turkish, I would advise against going. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel like outsiders. We paid 600 lira each at the entrance, plus an additional 100 lira for parking, and were told it included a drink, a sunbed, and an umbrella. However, once inside, we had to wait nearly 30 minutes to find a spot because instead of assisting us, they laughed at us and were extremely rude. Furthermore, when they finally decided to help us, they provided us with wet and dirty sunbeds and towels. We had to repeatedly request and insist on getting new ones. The only person who offered assistance was a very kind waitress who understood our situation. The place itself is nice and seems like a good spot for a party, I won't deny that. However, even the music was excessively loud! In summary, it's only worth it if you enjoy being mistreated and leaving with a headache.
One of the longest-running establishments in Aya Yorgi is Paparazzi and Sole Mare, which were popular back in the 2010s. However, like many other places, they have lost their value due to the decline in the country. While these places may be cheap if you're looking to make money, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the locals. I brought my elderly, plus-sized mother here, and this place offers great convenience for her. We spent the entire day there and didn't exceed $100 in expenses. On weekends, it tends to get quite crowded, and the service and attitude are pretty poor. I understand that it can be challenging to find reliable staff for this type of establishment, but if that's the case, they should focus on what they excel at. To make matters worse, we even heard a gunshot at the location that day, which was incredibly unfortunate. Additionally, the food is also subpar. The only redeeming qualities of this place are the beautiful sea, sunny weather, and the convenience it offers for older individuals.
The beach club is absolutely stunning and offers a great atmosphere with music. However, it tends to get quite crowded on weekends and the staff can be a bit overwhelmed, resulting in slower service. The beach is situated in a pristine and sparkling section of the sea. The entrance fee for the back beds, some of which don't have umbrellas, is 600 lira per person.
