About the spot

Akyaka is a small place near Gokova Bay. The main educational water area is located on the Akchapinar beach, and the village itself gives walks, cafes and the Azmak River. The thermal mechanism makes summer days attractive for kitesurfing, but you can not promise the wind on any date. On vacation, it is convenient to divide the day: a calm morning, water after the appearance of a suitable wind and an evening in the village.

What to pay attention to

Check kite-beach access rules and station boundaries. On busy days, leave extra room for launches and lessons.

How to plan the road

The main air landmark is Dalaman; transfer to Akyaki and the beach is agreed in advance.

Before paying, check with the receiving team the place of study and the nearest comfortable accommodation. “Hotel by the sea” and “hotel by the kite zone” do not always mean the same thing.

Where is it?

The marker shows the area, not the exact launch point. Find the station address and permitted area at the school.

Questions before travel

How to choose the time of the trip?

The warm season is a guide for planning. Before paying, confirm the season at the local school and check the forecast for travel dates.

What to ask the school before booking?

Where the lessons are held, what the size of the group is, whether the equipment is included, what language is taught and how the rescue on the water is organized.

Sources and relevance
