Canyoning is one of the most enjoyable outdoor sports. However tiring as it may be, at the end of the day you will have the honor of succeeding and feel that it is worth all your efforts. Though canyoning is a real challenge, it can simply be summarized as passing through a canyon using various techniques.
You will pass the deep and tight river bed sometimes by walking and sometimes by swimming and mostly descending using the ropes and the other technical equipment or jumping from the high rocks into the natural water ponds.
While discovering the spirit of the canyon, you will actually discover your own soul and limits.
Ahmetler Canyon Here is the address for the real adventure seekers. Ahmetler canyon, which is in the province of Manavgat, is a passage requiring high performance. Our guides will inform you about the usage of the equipment. After a walk of one hour we arrive to the entrance of the canyon. The speed of the steep passage, starting with a simple walk, increases after a short try and after this step, walking won't be enough anymore.
You sometimes dive into the water through the rock cracks and sometimes jump to the natural pools from 14 meters above the ground. At the exit, you are all heroes having had a victory and you do deserve a barbecue at the lakeside.
Turkey's Aegean shores are among the most fascinating and beautiful stretches in the country. The magnificent coastline, lapped by the clear water of the Aegean Sea, with landscapes of cultivated fields of aniseed, sesame and artichokes dotted with fig and gum trees, will guide you to discover one of the world's greatest windsurfing destinations in Alaçatı bay on the Çeşme peninsula.
With its 1.8 km width, over 5 km depth, crystal clear waters, azure blue skies, consistent and steady winds, topography and location Alaçatı is an ideal windsurfing spot in Europe. Both, the very shape of the bay and the thermal water pressures, create steady and consistent winds blowing side-shore from North to South (Poyraz) in summer and from South to North (Lodos) in winter months.
First time windsurfers love the place as the waist-deep and sand covered shallow water area extends for 500 meters from shore into the bay creating perfect conditions for beginners of all ages. Easy recovery from falls adds a new dimension to both teaching and learning to windsurf.
Consistent steady winds, combined with the best equipment ready and all rigged up steps away from the water is also an opportunity for speed or wave lovers not to miss. In summer, the North wind creates perfect conditions for flat-water high-speed windsurfing, whereas in winter the South wind creates waves steady enough even to please the big wave-funs.
As the coastal plain enjoys an exceptionally mild climate, with soft, verdant springs, hot summers, sunny autumns and warm winters marked by occasional showers. For windsurfing and sun-bathing summer months are ideal, but as the Aegean provides a perfect escapes from rigors of a northern winter even in January and February with mild sunny and pleasant days, wave lovers prefer to visit Alaçatı in winter to mix and match their Xmas holidays with windsurfing.
Whether you live for it or not, we know that the strong winds and crystal-clear waters of Alaçatı are not enough for a solid windsurfing experience. You may be worrying about your equipment, wondering if your friend will be bored when you windsurfing or just want to know the special of the chief. But along with it's natural appropriateness for windsurfing, there are more in Alaçatı for your holiday in Turkey.
Don't worry about your valuable equipment, you may rent your own windsurf storage area where you will find your equipment cleaned and set ready for the next day each night. And in case you need a replacement for your equipment, there is a special windsurf shop covering nearly every item you may need to replace.
While you are on your rest, you can enjoy local or international cuisine served by largely multilingual waiters and allow your mind to coast along in neutral whilst absorbing the sounds, sights and leisurely movements around the panoramic bay. And that's not all. Round the corner on the seaward-side of the bay you can swim, goggle along the reef, scuba dive to explore some of the sunken wrecks or charter a fully equipped boat with widely experienced captain for some deep-sea fishing.
Beach parties, and special Saturday night disco parties are not to be missed. The two piers which serve as watch-decks and filming platform during the day, will be at your service at night, with underwater lighting. If you would want to watch and enjoy the moonlight dancing with the water. How about moonlight windsurfing, a speciality of AWP can be arranged with our staff if you would like to put on a show watched by a large crowd.
