How crowded does Radisson Blu & Spa Resort Hotel get?When does the Radisson Blu & Spa Resort Hotel beach offer the best balance of conditions and atmosphere? The swimming season runs officially from June through November, but each period brings different characteristics.
June marks the transition into proper beach season. Water temperatures reaching 22°C allow comfortable extended swimming, while air temperatures build toward summer peaks. This early season period typically sees lighter crowds than the July-August rush, as European school holidays haven't yet begun in full.
July and August represent peak season in every sense. Water temperatures plateau around 24°C, and air temperatures average 27°C consistently. The resort operates at higher capacity during these months, meaning the beach sees its maximum usage. Families with children dominate during these school holiday weeks.
How does September change the picture? Water remains warm at approximately 21°C while air temperatures moderate to around 24°C. The post-summer period often delivers excellent conditions with reduced visitor numbers as families return to school schedules. This shoulder season appeals to couples and those seeking quieter conditions.
October extends possibilities for dedicated beach visitors. Water at 16°C requires some tolerance, but sunny days still support swimming. November officially closes the season with 13°C water temperatures attracting only the most committed swimmers.
The lifeguard presence throughout operating hours provides consistent supervision regardless of season. The east-facing beach orientation means morning hours receive direct sunlight while afternoon shade arrives naturally, affecting when visitors choose to swim versus relax on shore.
Is Radisson Blu & Spa Resort Hotel open year-round?The beach itself is accessible year-round, though staffed facilities including lifeguards typically operate only during the official season (01-06 – 30-09). The Blue Flag is displayed during the certification period only.

The Blue Flag certification, maintained since 2015, confirms the beach meets international standards for water quality, environmental management, and safety provisions. Lifeguards patrol the swimming area during operating hours, a reassurance for families and less confident swimmers navigating the Aegean waters.

June marks the true beginning of comfortable swimming season when water temperatures climb to about 22°C. The peak arrives in July and August, when the Aegean reaches its warmest at roughly 24°C.

October water temperatures of 16°C still support swimming on sunny days, while November at nearly 13°C marks the practical end of the season for most visitors.
The beach itself occupies the shoreline in front of the resort property on Altinyunus Mahallesi.

The seabed composition allows for decent visibility during calm conditions.

Three bars serve the property, providing refreshment options without leaving the beach area.

The peninsula geography creates numerous coves and swimming spots, but this particular beach benefits from its integration with resort services while maintaining Blue Flag environmental standards.
