Alaçatı - One of the best windsurfing place
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Western Turkey has long been closely connected with the world of sailing; some of the world's best sailing waters lie off its Aegean Sea coastline. In recent decades, the same conditions have led to a very large windsurfing culture. The steady winds and generally calm but always beautiful torquoise waters represent ideal conditions for windsurfers. And so they have come. In this video, you'll get a bird's eye view of Alacati, one of the epicenters of the Aegean Turkey windsurfing scene.

Alacati is famous for its authentic stone houses, stone paved roads and crystal clear waters. Alacati used to be a Roman town and residents have achieved to keep its authenticity and unique atmosphere. The town is only a 10 minute drive from Cesme centre and 30 minutes from Izmir , the 3rd largest city in Turkey that receives flights from all over the world. Alacati is also widely known for windsurfing and kite-surfing and has been named as the 3rd best surfing resort in the world. This is due to its 330 windy days (which is well above the average in Turkey) and calm waters and demand for this activity in this area is high and growing each year. Not only does it attract professionals, more than 10,000 foreign tourists come here every year, mainly from Australia, United States and Europe. It is also an ideal place for beginners as the shallow waters extend for 500 meters from the shore. There are ample surf schools here to meet demand which are at their busiest between May and October and the average temperature of the water is 22 degrees which makes it ideal for sea and water sport lovers.
