One solution is to take the ferry from Eminonu or Besiktas to Beykoz (a district in the suburbs of Istanbul) or a small boat from Yenikoy to Beykoz, then you can take the bus line number 137 on the route Beykoz-Riva-Cumhuriyet Köyü, close to Ogumce Cam Ocagi.

The schedule for the bus line number 137 is here:

But maybe is better to wrote an email or to call them, they used to offer transportation if there where available car&driver.

Hello

That is right, it is hard to find much info about safe and funny places there.
You can read some information about backpackers destinations in Africa following this link
http://goafrica.about.com/od/africatraveltips/tp/topbackpackerplaces.htm

Personally I visited only Tunisia and a bit further the Canary Islands in that part of world and I had positive experiences.

However, since you want to spend time on the beach seems that is good to visit East Africa during the dry seasons, from July till October and December till March.

Good luck and let us know how things went :-)

A boat docked in a tiny Mexican village. An American tourist complimented the Mexican fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them. "Not very long," answered the man. "So, why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?" asked the American. The Mexican explained that his small catch was enough to meet his needs. The American asked, "What do you do with the rest of your time?" "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a siesta with my wife. In the evenings, I go to the village to see my friends, play the guitar, and sing a few songs. I have a full life."

The American interrupted: "I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you! You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue you can buy a bigger boat. With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middle-man, you can negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or even New York City."

"How long would that take?" asked the Mexican. "20, perhaps 25 years," said the American. "And after that?" "Afterwards? That's when it really gets interesting," answered the American, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start selling stocks and make millions." "Millions? Really? And after that?" "After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your grandchildren, catch a few fish, take a siesta, and spend your evenings playing the guitar and enjoying your friends."
