Better known as Turkey's premier scuba diving town, but the same turquoise Mediterranean coast draws kiters too. Actively tracked by wind-forecast services, confirming it as a real, working spot rather than just a dive destination.

Getting thereAbout 2 hours from Dalaman Airport (DLM) or 3 hours from Antalya via the winding D400 coastal highway. A car is essential for local beach bays like Akçagerme or Limanağzı; public street lots or paid beach club parking. Staging is from tight pebble beach clearings or direct boat transfers.
HazardsDeep, alpine-like water sits close to shore, with an intricate rocky coastline and no shallow standing zones at all. Genuinely unsuited to true beginners given unpredictable mountain wind shadows, heavy summer tour boat traffic, and no dedicated public kite rescue service.
Best time of dayAfternoon, when solar heating over the Lycian mountains triggers a localized thermal from the SSW. Wait until early afternoon for the thermal to stabilize across the deep coastal channels before rigging.
