Manastir beach

Manastir is a beach in the Marmara Sea, Turkey. The place is beautiful - with calm clear water and great views of the mountains. The only problem is that sea depth is very deep right from the beginning. In August, there are a lot of tourists and a lot of garbage. Local cafe is expensive and tries to charge entrance free from everybody trying to get to the beach. Even if you call the police, they will confirm that cafe has no right to get money to enter the beach. However, it will be easier just to pay - to avoid a scandal. There is also a separate small beach on the right - being also beautiful and less crowded. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
