Enjoy two kitesurfing sessions each day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. You'll reach the spot accessible from the hotel beach. Thanks to the instructors' lessons and guidance, you'll quickly get up and running. During each session, you'll sail on the open Mediterranean Sea, followed by a Zodiac boat, and enjoy flat water with consistent winds.
In case of lack of wind, alternative activities will be offered.
For beginners up to mastering the water start, we favor a paired learning approach. This teaching method allows for the rapid acquisition of the necessary knowledge regarding equipment preparation, wing launch and landing, and safety procedures. On average, mastering the water start takes about 5 hours of instruction.
During your week, enjoy a free day to relax by the hotel pool, visit the region and discover its Greco-Turkish culture.
