Turkey: Beaches near Sabiha Gokcen Intl?
So my flight in September to Turkey is through SAW, which is an hour or so away from the Old Town of Istanbul.
I think I'd rather do 2 days of touristy things around Istanbul then head back close to the airport and have beach-side relaxation.
What beaches/towns are close-by that has great accommodations? All I see is Radisson Blu haha.

Try Şile. A cute resort town by the Black Sea, north of SAW.

I am certainly not an expert in Istanbul, thus my question: couldn't one reach the Prince Islands easily from Sabiha Gokcen Intl? If yes, here's a very nice short trip. If one has to go with one of the boats leaving from "downstream" from the Golden Horn, then of course, forget it.
