A hidden gem in the pine-fringed Gökova Bay with turquoise water. A reliable thermal onshore wind (15-18 kn, sometimes more in August) and protected flat water make it ideal for freeride and freestyle. The seabed is 95% sand — safe for beginners — and a rescue service is on site. Authentic, laid-back village with great riverside restaurants.

Best season: Jun, Jul, Aug W SW
