Ve Ayvalik Hotels, Balıkesir, Sarımsaklı Plaj 2026

Welcome! Ever wondered why Sarımsaklı Beach is considered a legendary destination on the Turkish Aegean coast? In this video, I’m taking you inside the Ayvalık Sea Resort to show you the ultimate beachfront experience. From the soft, golden sands of Sarımsaklı to the refreshing, crystal-clear waters, discover why this remains a must-visit spot for your 2026 travel bucket list. It was a very dynamic journey through all of Turkey. This time our journey was of a sporting nature - we set off from Alanya to the colorful city of Ayvalik for the Turkish triathlon competition! We planned the route in such a way as to enjoy the road, so on the way to Ayvalik we made a stop for the night in the city of Denizli, where we had a wonderful walk and rest. In Ayvalik itself, we stayed at the Ve Ayvalik Hotels. I sincerely recommend this place: it turned out to be mega-convenient for the participants of the competition, and we really liked it there! Take a look at the amazing moment of peace on the coast, where the silhouette of the Greek island of Lesbos is clearly visible on the very horizon of the Aegean Sea.
