Akliman Beach
Akliman Plajı
A long sandy beach backed by pine forest, with clear water and fine sand, Sinop's favourite summer swimming spot, next to Hamsilos.
Akliman lies in a bay on the northwest side of the Sinop peninsula. Its long sandy beach is backed by pine forest and a campsite, and the water is clear. In summer there are sunbeds, restaurants and snack stalls. The beach is next to the Hamsilos Canyon, so you can swim in the morning and walk through the canyon in the afternoon. When the Black Sea is rough, rip currents can form, so only swim in areas with lifeguards. It takes about 15 minutes by minibus or car from the town centre, and parking is limited at weekends.
Opening hours
