Gökçeada Dam, situated in the picturesque Zeytinlikoy on Turkey's largest island, Gökçeada, offers a unique beach experience distinct from the typical sandy expanses. This artificial reservoir does not boast a traditional beach but presents a serene water body surrounded by lush landscapes. The sand is not the highlight here; instead, visitors are treated to natural stone and greenery encircling the dam's waters. Despite the lack of typical beach activities like swimming or sunbathing due to the dam's nature, visitors can enjoy picnicking, nature walks around the perimeter, and bird watching, offering a tranquil escape from the bustling beach scene. Gökçeada Dam has few amenities, so plan your trip accordingly, although it does have a naturalistic charm and opportunities for serene relaxation and photography, given the picturesque surroundings.
