Kitesurfing in Turkey – as featured in Kiteworld Travel Guide

Kitesurfing in Turkey with us

THE LURE

Constant winds hitting 60 square kilometres at shallow, flat water lagoons with over 15 spots all within a 25 minute drive set against a spectacular mountain backdrop are what you can look forward to in Didim. No matter what the direction, you can always find epic flat water.

You’ve been kitesurfing for too long when:

1. You mesure weather in meters (7m weather, 16m weather);
2. Flapping flags make you horny (as well as moving windmills);
3. You don’t need windmeter to tell what’s the wind speed and what’s the gust;
4. Considering moving out of your country when there is no wind for more than two weeks;
5. Always wondering how come setting up takes 5 min, packing up – half an hour;

Kitesurfing holiday with Meltem (aka Etesian)

The etesians (Ancient Greek ετησίαι ‘annual (winds)’, sometimes found in the Latin form etesiae), meltemi μελτέμι (Greek), or meltem (Turkish) are the strong, dry north winds of the Aegean Sea.

During hot summer days, this is by far the most preferred weather type. They are at their strongest in the afternoon and often die down at night, but sometimes meltemi winds last for days without a break.
