Welcome to Turkey's leading kiteboard and windsurf centre and the venue for the P.W.A. World Tour slalom race each August. Our wind sports centre and school sits beside the warm, turquoise waters of Alacati Bay, a mecca for windsurfers and kiteboarders thanks to the fantastic local conditions and great facilities.
We offer private and group windsurfing lessons for all levels from beginners to expert clinics and master classes. The warm, shallow water extends for up to 300m from the shore making it ideal for learning and improving your skills. Our experienced and friendly instructors are fully certified by VDWS and speak English and German.
Alacati is a natural playground for kiteboarders and windsurfers thanks to its wide bay and the meltem, a seasonal climatic system that creates great wind throughout the summer, from May-October. The meltem wind is strong and stable funneled and accelerated by the surrounding hills - great for kiteboarders and windsurfers! It's reliable too, with over 20 windy days a month during the summer.
Alacati is a charming town located on the Cesme peninsular on Turkey's beautiful Aegean coast. Overlooked by a row of stone windmills, the town's cobbled streets are lined with stone houses, shops and tavernas, and dotted with friendly guesthouses and boutique hotels. The shops sell local crafts, jewellery and antiques; while the village square is filled with market stalls and open-air cafes. There are many interesting sights and great beaches on the Cesme peninsular and plenty of other things to do, such as diving, sailing or visiting one of the local hot-springs. After dark, there are nightspots to suit all tastes, from friendly tavernas to slick cocktail bars, with a selection of nightclubs and beach bars open until dawn nearby.
