Turkiye, a country famous for both its historical and natural beauties, also captivates tourists with its unique coastlines and stretches of beach. Located along the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts, these magnificent shores offer a true paradise with their crystal-clear waters, golden sands, and unique surrounding nature. Turkiye's most beautiful beaches welcome millions of visitors each year, while the region's coastal towns provide an unforgettable holiday experience. In this article, you will discover the most enjoyable coastal tours and beach explorations you can do along the Turkish coast, and how to make them more eco-friendly with an electric vehicle.


Turkey's Most Beautiful Beaches and Coastlines You Can Explore with Your EV

While exploring Turkiye's unique beach and coastal routes, using an electric vehicle stands out as an environmentally conscious choice. It is possible to reach these natural paradises while both protecting nature and enjoying a silent drive. Here are Turkiye's most beautiful coastal and beach routes you should explore with your electric vehicle:

Ölüdeniz – Fethiye

One of Turkiye's most popular coastlines, Ölüdeniz stands out with its clear turquoise sea and tranquility. This area, surrounded by mountains rich in oxygen, attracts great interest, especially in the summer months. It is very close to Fethiye city center, and there are multiple DC fast charging stations available in Fethiye for electric vehicle users.

 

Kaputaş Beach – Kaş

Located between Kaş and Kalkan, Kaputaş Beach is a magnificent natural wonder tucked away between steep cliffs. Ranking among Turkiye's most beautiful beaches, this spot also mesmerizes with its view. AC and DC charging stations are available around Kaş and Kalkan. By planning your vehicle's range, you can enjoy both a quick charge and a swim during a short break.

Ayazma Beach – Bozcaada

One of Bozcaada's most beloved beaches, Ayazma Beach stands out with its pristine sea and cool air. It is one of the best-preserved natural spots along the Turkish coast. You can charge your vehicle near the Geyikli Ferry Port before crossing to the island and use AC charging options on the island itself.

Patara Beach – Antalya

As one of Turkiye's longest coastlines at 12 kilometers, Patara Beach is also under protection as a nesting area for Caretta Caretta turtles. There may be a limited number of DC fast charging points near Patara, so it is advisable to plan your route via Kaş or Fethiye. You can plan appropriately by filtering stations with ChargeIQ.

Çıralı – Kemer

With its natural beauty, calm atmosphere, and proximity to historical sites like Yanartaş (Chimaera), Çıralı is a must-visit for nature lovers. This coastline, a favorite in Turkiye, offers electric vehicle charging options at various boutique hotels. 

Practical Tips and Suggestions for a Coastal Tour by EV

Taking coastal tours with an electric vehicle offers both an eco-friendly alternative and a comfortable, quiet travel experience. Here are some practical tips for using an electric vehicle while exploring Turkiye's different coastal towns and beaches:

Plan Your Route in Advance

There can be long distances between some areas on the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts. On popular coastal routes like Fethiye–Kaş–Kalkan, you can plan your itinerary through ChargeIQ to eliminate the risk of getting stranded. Don't forget to add charging stops using the 'Route' tab.


Use the Filtering Feature: Selecting Chargers by Coastal Town

Small coastal towns usually have AC-type slow charging points. If your route includes places like Bozcaada, Akyaka, or Çıralı, you can plan more accurately by setting the filters to AC.


Check Real-Time Availability

During the July–August period, charging stations in crowded tourist spots can fill up quickly. ChargeIQ's real-time availability information comes in very handy, especially during peak hours.


Save Your Favorite Stations 

Is there a beach you visit every day during your holiday? For instance, you can add charging stations around Kaputaş, Çıralı, or Lara to your favorites for quick access without searching every day.


Choose Hotels with Charging Stations

In regions like Göcek, Kaş, and Dalyan, some boutique hotels also offer charging station facilities.

Choosing such hotels during your stay saves time and helps keep your vehicle ready overnight. You can check for these charging stations using the ChargeIQ app.
