TL;DR
The Princes' Islands near Istanbul have paid beach clubs: Yörükali Plajı on Adalar (1000 TL/person) and Noya Beach on Kınalıada (1000–1200 TL/person), both including sunbeds, umbrellas, showers, and a pool.
Noya Beach on Kınalıada costs 1000 TL on weekdays and 1200 TL on weekends. Boat transfer is available, and the beach has a pool, music, and water access both from shore and a pier. Service quality varies by staff.
Noya Beach on Kınalıada is a mixed experience. The 1000 TL entry covers a sunbed, changing room, toilet, pool, and sea access, but towels cost extra (300 TL for a thin cloth). Food and drinks are overpriced: cola 200 TL, pizza 800 TL, fries 300 TL. No Wi-Fi, minimal English-speaking staff. The walk from the ferry pier takes 20–25 minutes through construction sites and residential streets. The golf cart runs every 30 minutes and is often full. The sea is very cold with large jellyfish. The pool is the saving grace — warmer and deep enough. Best for those who don't mind cold water and high food prices.
Yörükali Plajı on Adalar island is a good option for those looking for a sandy beach. Entry costs 1000 TL per person, including a sunbed, umbrella, showers, and changing rooms. There's a water slide and a bar. Music is kept at a low volume and the area is clean. A free boat runs from Adalar pier to the beach.
