Iskele means "pier", "landing place" but to the tourist it (now) is mainly a decent beach, stretching all the way to the castle further east, and lots of small hotels, restaurants, the works. When visiting in 2018 preparations were visible all around for the new season. But in addition to that the landing place was being extended, as in a year or so ferries from Cyprus were to land here. Opinions varied as to the amount of change this would bring about.
