Tisan is a summer beach resort located on the isthmus connecting the Tisan peninsula and the Turkish mainland, 120 kilometers from the center of Mersin.

To get to Tisan, you need to overcome a steep serpentine. It offers a beautiful view of the isthmus and beaches.

The isthmus itself is about 250 meters wide, with beaches on both sides. The main beach is almost 500 meters long. Here is the main infrastructure, sun loungers and umbrellas, a cafe, and there is also a small yacht marina. There is a large free parking nearby.
The main beach is covered from the sea by an island, so there are almost no waves here. The water is perfectly clear, but the entrance to the sea is rocky. Without special shoes, we will be very uncomfortable here, as you can slip on the rocks in the water. There are not pebbles, but stones – medium and large.

Therefore, they explained to us that they are intended only for residents of neighboring residential complexes, they are not rented to tourists. This sign says so:

The second beach is less popular, more like a wild one. They didn’t specify whether sunbeds were rented there, because there was no desire to swim there. It was windy, there were waves, and there was debris floating in the water.

I didn't like the sea here very much

In general, if you deal with renting sunbeds on the main beach, for example, renting a house here, then a good place for a beach holiday. I will come here one more time, I will supplement my story with information about this.
