Kitesurfing at
AlaçatıMELTEMI THERMAL BAY

Kitesurfing at Alaçatı lives in the annex of a windsurf cathedral: the V-shaped Çeşme bay stays flat and shallow some 200 m out, with the Kairaba Beach Resort directly on Çark Beach and Myga Surf City by the beginners' area — while independent kiting happens in the designated kite zone across the bay, where Kite And More runs its family clubhouse. Know the zoning before you rig, and put the family on the Çark side where the shallows and the beach clubs are.

The Kitesurf Camp verdict Alaçatı rewards riders who read the rules: windsurfers get one of Europe's great flat bays at the door, kiters get their own zone across the water and Pırlanta's dedicated beach a short drive away. Sleep on the sand at the bay — never in the beautiful stone town, unless you enjoy commuting to wind.
