Alacati Wing Foiling Holidays

Alaçatı is a beautiful town on Turkey’s Aegean coast and one of the best places in the country for wingfoiling. It has steady winds, shallow water, and a lovely natural setting, which makes it perfect for both beginners and experienced wingfoilers. You won’t find many places that offer such great wingfoiling conditions, high-quality hotels, and a charming town to explore all in one.

Alaçatı is also ideal for people who don’t wingfoil. Whether you're travelling with a partner or family, there’s something for everyone. The old town, just a short taxi ride from the beach, is full of life with cafés, open-air bars, and restaurants. It’s a great place to relax after a day on the water. The nearby town of Çeşme is also worth visiting. It has lots of shops and markets selling local Turkish goods, clothes, and souvenirs.

The bay in Alaçatı is wide and protected, with warm, clear water. The water is usually flat, with only small waves even when the wind is strong, which makes it easier and safer to learn wingfoiling. The sea bottom is mostly sand, so you won’t find sharp rocks or anything dangerous.

From May to October, the wind in Alaçatı blows almost every day. It usually starts late in the morning and gets stronger in the afternoon. Most days the wind is perfect—not too strong and not too light. This is why wingfoilers love it here. The wind direction is side-shore, which means it pushes you along the beach, not out to sea. This is the safest wind direction for learning.

There is a great wingfoil school right by the main beach, next to the Biblos Hotel. They speak English and offer full lessons with everything included—wing, foil board, and safety gear. The classes are either private or in small groups, so you get good attention and feel safe. Instructors help you get started, launch the wing, and are always nearby if you need help in the water.

What our clients say

★★★★★

Great communication and personal service through booking process. Plenty of local knowledge about the destination and Wing Foiling info. Looking forward to the holiday now!

Steve T. Google review of Planet Travel Holidays

★★★★★

I recently booked a wing foiling holiday with Planet Travels and would highly recommend them. They provided really detailed and tailored advice that helped me make the right choice. I found that the agents (particularly Matt) had personal experience of the locations and hotels we discussed which was really important to me. There's nothing worse than a salesman wo doesn't know their subject! Would definitely book with them again.

Incredibly knowledgeable about every kiteboard, wing board and Kitefoil destination I could think of.

Thank you
