معنی
The area next to the sea.
زمینه فرهنگی
In cities like Izmir, the 'deniz kenarı' is the heart of social life. People spend hours sitting on the grass or at cafes along the 'Kordon'. The concept of 'Rakı-Balık' is inseparable from the 'deniz kenarı'. It is considered a ritual to eat fish and drink rakı while looking at the sea. For many Turks in landlocked cities like Ankara, moving to the 'deniz kenarı' (especially the Aegean or Mediterranean) is the ultimate life goal. Even without a restaurant, Turks will bring a thermos of tea to the 'deniz kenarı'. It is a low-cost, high-pleasure social activity.
The 'n' Buffer

Not for Rivers
Never use 'deniz kenarı' for a river. Use 'nehir kenarı'.
