Manastır Bay is named after an old monastery,
("Manastır" means "monastery" in Turkish) that once stood
in the area, adding to its historical charm.
The bay is part of a protected natural area, which is why it
remains so peaceful and unspoiled.
It’s a popular spot for locals, who prefer a windier beach experience compared to Altinkum’s busier, calm water beaches. It helps you to stay feeling cooler in the summer heat.
