Located on the Cesme Peninsula, opposite the Greek island Chios, Alacati is the perfect surf spot in the Turkish Aegean Sea. Who doesn’t dream of racing over flat, turquoise water with constant wind? Izmir is only a 3 hour flight away, and the transfer to Alacati only takes one hour.

Alacati is known as the “St. Tropez of Turkey” and it´s historical town with numerous cafés and terraces is very appealing. In nearby Cesme, several shops and boutiques invite you to shop to your hearts content!

In case the wind machine takes a break and you are interested in culture as well as sports, some famous places can be easily reached from here: Ephesus, Pamukkale, Troy, Assos and many more.

From mid May until the end of September the well known “Meltemi” blows from a northerly direction. Normally the wind is moderate in the morning and in-creases during the day. In spring and autumn, the dominating wind comes from the south. The “Poiras” blows sideshore from the right. At this time, nice small waves break in the bay. Even on days with strong wind, beginners and intermediates can enjoy moderate wind conditions in the morning and afternoon.

Alacati has a variety of excursions and tours on offer within the resort and nearby. The hotel offers wakeboarding, water-skiing and has a tennis court.

There are dive centres in Cesme from where it is also possible to take day trips to Greece. It is also worth taking a day trip to Ephesus, one of the most famous antiquities in Turkey.
