It is the island\u2019s largest shoreline along the Aegean Sea and is famous for its fine golden sand and clear blue-green water. The beach faces south toward the Aegean and lies below a windswept pine-covered bluff. Its name, Ayazma, means \u201choly spring\u201d in Greek, referring to the 18th-century Aya Paraskevi (Ayazma) monastery and spring just inland. Ayazma is also a Blue Flag beach, indicating high standards of cleanliness, safety, and facilities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where is Ayazma Beach located?<\/strong> Ayazma Beach sits on the south coast of Bozcaada (Tenedos), an island district of \u00c7anakkale Province in the Marmara region. It is in the Cumhuriyet neighborhood (\u00c7\u0131narl\u0131 \u00c7ar\u015f\u0131 Cd. No:49, 17680 Bozcaada), about 2\u20133 km east of Bozcaada town center. The beach occupies a small bay between Sulubah\u00e7e Beach to the west and Habbele Beach to the east. Bozcaada is reached by car-ferry from the mainland (\u00c7anakkale\/Ezine to Geyikli, then a short drive on the island), and Ayazma is signposted along the main coastal road.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is Ayazma Beach like?<\/strong> The beach is long and gently curved, with a shore of very soft, fine sand underfoot. It slopes shallowly into the sea for the first 10\u201320 meters, making it easy for children to wade. The water is remarkably clear but quite cold \u2013 even in high summer locals describe it as \u201crefreshing\u201d or \u201cteeth-chatteringly\u201d cold. On calm days the bay is glassy; in wavier conditions (Aegean meltemi winds) it can develop moderate chop. The beach is backed by pine trees and a few caf\u00e9s and taverns along its sandy edge. Facilities at Ayazma include public showers, changing cabins and restrooms. Beach-front restaurants (like Vahitin Yeri and Koreli) offer food and drink right next to the sand. Sunbeds and umbrellas are available (for hire) across most of the beach. Natural shade is limited, so rented umbrellas or hats are useful. Overall the scene is lively: you\u2019ll hear waves, wind through pines, and music or chatter from the beach clubs. In summer the shore is brightly lit and usually busy; by evening it quiets down for sunset views over the Aegean.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to visit Ayazma Beach?<\/strong> Travelers generally arrive by car or local minibus. From Geyikli ferry port, drive approximately 6\u20138 km (10\u201315 minutes) east around the island toward Ayazma, following signs for \u201cAyazma Plaj\u0131.\u201d The road leads to a parking area by the row of beach caf\u00e9s. In summer a free shuttle (dolmu\u015f) runs from Bozcaada town square to Ayazma roughly every 10\u201315 minutes. Take the route toward the south coast (\u00c7\u0131narl\u0131 \u00c7ar\u015f\u0131 Caddesi). The beach is well indicated by signs or GPS for \u201cAyazma.\u201d Early arrival is advised on busy days, as the parking lots fill up by late morning. If visiting by taxi or tour bus, request \u201cAyazma Plaj\u0131, Cumhuriyet Mahallesi, Bozcaada.\u201d (Bozcaada is the only town on the island, so it\u2019s easy to find.) Walking access: from town a 5\u201310 minute walk leads to Bozcaada Castle and harbor, but Ayazma is about 2\u20133 km beyond the center, so a vehicle is best.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is Ayazma Beach worth visiting?<\/strong> Ayazma is Bozcaada\u2019s flagship beach, and for many travelers it\u2019s a must-see. Its gentle sandy shore and full range of services make it ideal for a classic beach day. You can swim, sunbathe on a wide sandy bed, and grab lunch or ice cream at a nearby caf\u00e9 without leaving the shore. The clear water and pine-scented breeze are very appealing. On the other hand, some beachgoers find Ayazma over-crowded in peak summer, and its very cold water can surprise first-time visitors. If you prefer solitude or warmer water, quieter coves like Sulubah\u00e7e (free, no cafes) or Aquarium (Cristal Cove) are alternatives. In summary: Ayazma is worth visiting if you want a convenient, family-friendly beach with amenities. If you want a tranquil or tropical-feeling swim, consider also exploring neighboring bays outside the July\u2013August rush.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is Ayazma Beach good for families?<\/strong> Yes \u2013 its shallow, gradual entry and fine sand are generally child-friendly. Parents can bring toddlers who can walk far out in waist-deep water. Lifeguards are usually on duty in summer (a Blue Flag requirement), and basic facilities (toilets, showers, changing cabins) are available. Beach restaurants and rentable cabanas mean families have shade and easy snacks on hand. Keep in mind the crowd levels: children may need more attention when the beach is packed. Also the water is very cold, so little swimmers should acclimate slowly. Still, many local families choose Ayazma for its safety and convenience compared to <strong>more rugged coves.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Is Ayazma Beach free?<\/strong> There is no entry fee \u2013 Ayazma Beach is a public (belediye) beach. You can lay your towel on the sand for free. The beach does charge for extras: lounge chairs and umbrellas cost roughly \u20ba130\u2013200 for a pair (rates rose significantly in 2023). Showers and restrooms are free to use. Parking near the beach caf\u00e9 area is free as well. In short, the beach access is free but sunbeds\/shadow rentals and food cost money. Note that prices for sunbeds are set by private operators (often the nearby restaurants), so bring cash or check menus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long should I spend at Ayazma Beach?<\/strong> Most visitors spend half a day here, but you can easily make it a full-day outing. Arriving mid-morning is smart; this lets you swim and sunbathe before crowds peak. Plan to stay 3\u20134 hours at least: that gives time for a swim, a relaxing break under umbrella, and lunch at a caf\u00e9. (Locals recommend trying fresh pide or cold melon on the beach!) If you like, you can stay all afternoon until sunset, since there are shaded lunch spots and the sea remains pleasant. Many people come and go with the tides of the crowd, but budget at least 2\u20133 hours for Ayazma, and 4\u20136 hours if you want a leisurely beach-lunch-beach routine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you swim at Ayazma Beach?<\/strong> Yes. Ayazma is a designated swimming beach with a gently sloping, sand-bottomed entry. Most swimmers find the water very clear and clean. There are no sharp drop-offs or strong currents in the swimming zone, and lifeguards (cankurtaran) are typically posted in summer. The one caveat is temperature: the water is unusually chilly even in summer. After entering, most people adapt within a few minutes. Wearing a short wetsuit or staying near the warm shallows can help sensitive swimmers. Overall, Ayazma\u2019s sea is perfectly safe for swimming; just enter slowly on your first dip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"template":"","listivo_14":["Beaches"],"listivo_2723":[],"listivo_8964":["Bozcaada","\u00c7anakkale"],"listivo_8976":[],"class_list":["post-37012","listivo_listing","type-listivo_listing","status-publish","hentry","listivo_14-beaches","listivo_8964-bozcaada","listivo_8964-canakkale"],"listivo_145":["https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ayazma-beach-bozcaada-sunset-shoreline-06.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ayazma-beach-bozcaada-coastal-hill-overlook-16.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ayazma-beach-bozcaada-beach-club-loungers-09.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ayazma-beach-bozcaada-rocky-hills-coast-08.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ayazma-beach-bozcaada-summer-beach-scene-17.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ayazma-beach-bozcaada-ships-on-horizon-04.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ayazma-beach-bozcaada-wide-beach-panorama-13.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ayazma-beach-bozcaada-clear-aegean-water-03.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ayazma-beach-bozcaada-aegean-island-view-11.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ayazma-beach-bozcaada-busy-summer-shore-02.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ayazma-beach-bozcaada-calm-blue-water-14.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ayazma-beach-bozcaada-crowded-umbrella-row-15.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ayazma-beach-bozcaada-family-swimming-area-10.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ayazma-beach-bozcaada-final-beach-panorama-19.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ayazma-beach-bozcaada-final-shore-view-18.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ayazma-beach-bozcaada-golden-sand-view-05.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ayazma-beach-bozcaada-quiet-waterline-07.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ayazma-beach-bozcaada-straw-umbrellas-01.webp","https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ayazma-beach-bozcaada-warm-evening-light-12.webp"],"listivo_8965":"","listivo_8966":[],"listivo_8967":{"address":"Cumhuriyet, 17680 Bozcaada\/\u00c7anakkale, T\u00fcrkiye","location":{"lat":39.8127469,"lng":26.0079767}},"listivo_27883":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_27887":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_8968":[],"listivo_8969":[],"listivo_8970":[],"listivo_8971":[],"listivo_8972":[],"listivo_8973":[],"listivo_8974":[],"listivo_344":[],"listivo_27412":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_27270":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_27431":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_345":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_26999":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_26941":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_26924":{"url":"<section id=\"ayazma-beach-location\" aria-labelledby=\"ayazma-beach-location-title\">   <style>     #ayazma-beach-location,     #ayazma-beach-location *,     #ayazma-beach-location *::before,     #ayazma-beach-location *::after {       box-sizing: border-box;

The first steps into the <strong>deniz<\/strong> are comfortable underfoot, and the water usually deepens gradually enough for cautious swimmers and children. Afternoon wind can roughen the surface, but calm mornings often bring the best swimming texture.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"card coral\">       <h3>Facilities and Beach Comfort<\/h3>       <p>The managed summer zone usually provides <strong>\u015fezlong<\/strong>, <strong>\u015femsiye<\/strong>, <strong>du\u015f<\/strong>, changing cabins and nearby food service. Visitors can also use towel space on the public sand where available. Restaurants such as Vahit\u2019in Yeri, Koreli, Thenes and Ayazma Restaurant give the beach a practical lunch-and-swim pattern rather than a remote cove feeling.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"card yellow\">       <h3>Who Should Choose It?<\/h3>       <p>Ayazma suits families wanting sand, toilets, food and easy transport. It also works for couples who prefer a social beach with sunset light and nearby dinner. Visitors wanting silence, snorkeling rocks or a wild <strong>koy<\/strong>, meaning cove, may prefer Akvaryum, Sulubah\u00e7e, Beylik or Habbele outside the busiest hours.<\/p>     <\/article>   <\/div>    <footer class=\"closing\" aria-label=\"Ayazma Beach practical summary\">     <div class=\"closing-text\">       <h3>Is Ayazma Beach Worth Visiting?<\/h3>       <p>Ayazma Beach is worth visiting for a convenient Bozcaada beach day with sand, services, restaurants and dependable swimming access. It is not the quietest shore on the island. The best experience comes from arriving early, checking the wind, renting shade when needed and treating rental prices as seasonal rather than fixed.<\/p>     <\/div>     <div class=\"closing-points\" aria-label=\"Ayazma Beach quick planning points\">       <div class=\"closing-point\">Best morning swim: before wind and crowds build.<\/div>       <div class=\"closing-point\">Bring: hat, water, towel, cash and sun protection.<\/div>       <div class=\"closing-point\">Plan: 3\u20135 hours for swim, shade and lunch.<\/div>     <\/div>   <\/footer> <\/section>","embed":""},"listivo_27356":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_27361":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_27105":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_27369":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_27100":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_27111":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_27153":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_27256":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_27260":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_27265":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_27281":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_27288":{"url":"<div class=\"last-updated-wrap\" aria-label=\"Last updated information\">   <style>     .last-updated-wrap{       --text:#10242b;       --muted:#5f737b;       --line:#d5edf1;       --paper:#ffffff;       --soft:#eefbfd;       --accent:#078ea5;        display:flex;       align-items:flex-start;       gap:14px;       max-width:980px;       margin:0 0 0px;       padding:16px 18px;       border:1px solid var(--line);       border-radius:10px;       background:linear-gradient(180deg,var(--paper),var(--soft));       color:var(--text);       font-family:\"Barlow\",Arial,sans-serif;       box-shadow:0 14px 34px rgba(4,36,49,.07);     }      .last-updated-wrap,     .last-updated-wrap *{       box-sizing:border-box;     }      .last-updated-wrap .lu-icon{       display:grid;       place-items:center;       width:38px;       height:38px;       flex:0 0 38px;       border:1px solid rgba(7,142,165,.18);       border-radius:10px;       background:#fff;       color:var(--accent);       box-shadow:0 6px 16px rgba(4,36,49,.06);     }      .last-updated-wrap .lu-content{       min-width:0;       flex:1;       padding-top:1px;     }      .last-updated-wrap .lu-top{       display:flex;       align-items:center;       gap:7px;       margin:0 0 7px;       min-height:20px;       line-height:1.2;       white-space:nowrap;     }      .last-updated-wrap .lu-label{       color:var(--text);       font-size:14px;       font-weight:800;     }      .last-updated-wrap .lu-sep{       color:var(--muted);       font-size:13px;       font-weight:600;     }      .last-updated-wrap .lu-date{       color:var(--muted);       font-size:13px;       font-weight:600;     }      .last-updated-wrap .lu-badge{       display:inline-flex;       align-items:center;       min-height:22px;       margin-left:3px;       padding:4px 9px;       border:1px solid rgba(7,142,165,.18);       border-radius:999px;       background:rgba(7,142,165,.08);       color:var(--accent);       font-size:11px;       font-weight:800;       letter-spacing:.4px;       line-height:1;       text-transform:uppercase;     }      .last-updated-wrap .lu-note{       max-width:880px;       margin:0;       color:var(--muted);       font-size:13px;       line-height:1.6;     }      .last-updated-wrap .lu-note strong{       color:var(--text);       font-weight:750;     }      @media (max-width:560px){       .last-updated-wrap{         gap:12px;         padding:14px;       }        .last-updated-wrap .lu-icon{         width:34px;         height:34px;         flex-basis:34px;       }        .last-updated-wrap .lu-top{         flex-wrap:wrap;         white-space:normal;         gap:5px 7px;       }     }   <\/style>    <span class=\"lu-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">     <svg width=\"18\" height=\"18\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" focusable=\"false\">       <path d=\"M20 7L9 18l-5-5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2.2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"><\/path>     <\/svg>   <\/span>    <div class=\"lu-content\">     <p class=\"lu-top\">       <span class=\"lu-label\">Last updated<\/span>       <span class=\"lu-sep\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u2022<\/span>       <time class=\"lu-date\" datetime=\"2026-06-26\">June 26, 2026<\/time>       <span class=\"lu-badge\">Verified<\/span>     <\/p>      <p class=\"lu-note\">       <strong>Sources checked:<\/strong> current web information for Ayazma Beach and Bozcaada, including Bozcaada district and island location, Geyikli ferry access, Ayazma Plaj\u0131 beach access context, seasonal facilities, nearby beaches, and Blue Flag availability.

July and August bring the fullest beach-club setup, hottest sand, busiest <strong>otopark<\/strong> pressure and strongest demand for <strong>\u015fezlong<\/strong> and <strong>\u015femsiye<\/strong>. The sea remains characteristically cold, even when the air is hot.     <\/p>   <\/header>    <div class=\"season-hero\">     <figure class=\"hero-media\" aria-label=\"Ayazma Beach season image\">       <img         src=\"https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ayazma-beach-bozcaada-sunset-shoreline-06.webp\"         srcset=\"https:\/\/travel-turkey.b-cdn.net\/wp-media-folder-travel-s-helper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ayazma-beach-bozcaada-sunset-shoreline-06.webp 1200w\"         sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 760px\"         width=\"1200\"         height=\"800\"         alt=\"Sunset shoreline at Ayazma Beach on Bozcaada during the summer beach season\"         loading=\"lazy\"         decoding=\"async\">       <figcaption class=\"hero-overlay\">         <b>Shoulder season, cold water and sunset light<\/b>         <p>Ayazma changes by hour and month: mornings suit families and calm swimming, afternoons bring more wind, and evenings soften the beach into one of Bozcaada\u2019s classic sunset settings.<\/p>       <\/figcaption>     <\/figure>      <aside class=\"season-panel\" aria-label=\"Ayazma Beach seasonal facts\">       <div class=\"season-panel-head\">         <h3>Season Snapshot<\/h3>         <p>Plan around ferry demand, island wind, beach crowds and the naturally cool Aegean sea temperature.<\/p>       <\/div>        <dl class=\"season-list\">         <div class=\"season-item\"><dt>Best Months<\/dt><dd>June, September and early October<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"season-item\"><dt>Peak Season<\/dt><dd>July and August, especially weekends<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"season-item\"><dt>Best Time<\/dt><dd>Morning for calmer sea and easier shade<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"season-item\"><dt>Sea Feel<\/dt><dd>Cold, refreshing and clearer in calm weather<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"season-item\"><dt>Wind<\/dt><dd>Afternoons can bring chop from island breezes<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"season-item\"><dt>Facilities<\/dt><dd>Most active from late spring through summer<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"season-item\"><dt>Sunset<\/dt><dd>Good evening light, especially on dry clear days<\/dd><\/div>         <div class=\"season-item\"><dt>Winter<\/dt><dd>Scenic and quiet, but not a full service period<\/dd><\/div>       <\/dl>     <\/aside>   <\/div>    <div class=\"month-grid\">     <article class=\"month best\">       <span class=\"tag\">Best Balance<\/span>       <h3>June<\/h3>       <p>June gives Ayazma its best balance of warm air, active services and manageable crowds. The sea still feels brisk, but the beach has more breathing room than August. Families and couples should aim for weekday mornings.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"month peak\">       <span class=\"tag\">Peak Summer<\/span>       <h3>July and August<\/h3>       <p>July and August deliver the full beach-club rhythm, restaurant flow and busiest sand. Early arrival matters. Visitors who come late may still swim easily, but parking, shade and front-row loungers can be difficult.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"month calm\">       <span class=\"tag\">Soft Season<\/span>       <h3>September<\/h3>       <p>September is often the most comfortable month for Ayazma Beach. The island stays warm, crowds thin after school holidays, and the late-afternoon light improves photography without the same midday pressure.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"month off\">       <span class=\"tag\">Quiet Coast<\/span>       <h3>October to May<\/h3>       <p>Outside the main beach season, Ayazma becomes a scenic south-coast stop rather than a full-service <strong>belediye plaj\u0131<\/strong> experience. Swimming depends on weather, and visitors should not expect all operators to be open.<\/p>     <\/article>   <\/div>    <div class=\"advice-grid\">     <article class=\"advice\">       <h3>Best Time for Families<\/h3>       <p>Families should arrive before late morning, choose a shaded rental zone or bring strong sun protection, and let children enter the cold water gradually. The sandy floor helps comfort, but crowds increase supervision needs during peak season.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"advice\">       <h3>Best Time for Swimmers<\/h3>       <p>Swimmers usually get the cleanest, calmest feel in the morning before wind texture builds. The water can remain cold throughout summer, which makes short, repeated swims more comfortable than one long first entry.<\/p>     <\/article>      <article class=\"advice\">       <h3>Best Time for Sunset<\/h3>       <p>Late afternoon and early evening suit visitors who want softer light, beach restaurants and a slower atmosphere. Sunset is pleasant from the shoreline, although the island\u2019s famous Polente Feneri area remains the wider panorama choice.<\/p>     <\/article>   <\/div>    <footer class=\"closing\" aria-label=\"Ayazma Beach seasonal planning summary\">     <div class=\"closing-text\">       <h3>How Long Should Visitors Spend at Ayazma Beach?<\/h3>       <p>Most visitors should spend three to five hours at Ayazma Beach. That allows time for swimming, shade, lunch and a relaxed walk along the sand. A shorter stop works for road-trip visitors, while a full day suits families who secure shade early.<\/p>     <\/div>     <div class=\"closing-points\">       <div class=\"closing-point\">Quietest feel: weekdays outside July and August.<\/div>       <div class=\"closing-point\">Best swim: morning, before afternoon wind rises.<\/div>       <div class=\"closing-point\">Peak pressure: weekends, holidays and late morning arrivals.<\/div>     <\/div>   <\/footer> <\/section>","embed":""},"listivo_28135":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_28136":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_28137":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_28138":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_28139":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_28140":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_28141":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_28142":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_28143":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_28144":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_28145":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_28146":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_28147":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_28148":{"url":"","embed":""},"listivo_35727":{"url":"","embed":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelshelper.com\/turkey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/listings\/37012","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelshelper.com\/turkey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/listings"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelshelper.com\/turkey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/listivo_listing"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelshelper.com\/turkey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/travelshelper.com\/turkey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/listings\/37012\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37017,"href":"https:\/\/travelshelper.com\/turkey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/listings\/37012\/revisions\/37017"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelshelper.com\/turkey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"listivo_14","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelshelper.com\/turkey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/listivo_14?post=37012"},{"taxonomy":"listivo_2723","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelshelper.com\/turkey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/listivo_2723?post=37012"},{"taxonomy":"listivo_8964","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelshelper.com\/turkey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/listivo_8964?post=37012"},{"taxonomy":"listivo_8976","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelshelper.com\/turkey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/listivo_8976?post=37012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
