ÇORUH RIVER
Grade 5
Location
Up to 5 days kayaking or rafting on a high volume pool drop river. The river increases in difficulty through the 5 days from grade 3 to sections of grade 5 at peak flow. There are a number of side streams that can also be run, eg Barhal, Oltu, Tortum, Ovit (all Grade 4). Road access is available at all times, allowing easy inspection/portage.
Peak flow is in late May and early June, by mid July all of the harder rapids are a grade easier.
Also in the north-east there are a number of steep creeks, such as the Fırtına and Maçka, flowing north into the Black Sea. This area has high summer rainfall so flows are fairly constant throughout the summer.
ÇORUH RIVER TRIP
The Çoruh River in north-east Turkey is recognized as one of the top ten white water rivers in the world, with its high volume rapids (up to grade 5 in May and June) fed by the snow-melt from the eastern Black Sea mountains in the north-east of Turkey. It flows through spectacular canyons and narrow fertile valleys or orchards and tiny paddy fields, past ancient ruined castles all set against a backdrop of magnificent rugged mountains and traditional village life virtually untouched by tourism.
We have been running regular expeditions on the Çoruh since 1992, and we are still the only Turkish company to offer regular trips on this river.
We run 4-day and 5-day camping expeditions during May and June. We also offer 7-day expeditions including trekking, for private groups.
LESSONS
For individuals and small groups of beginners we are able to arrange kayak lessons on a private basis on the Dalaman River.

Turkey, with its rich natural resources and hundreds of rivers, provides great opportunities for water sports like rafting, canoeing and water-skiing, while always respecting the cultural, historical and environmental qualities of the country. The most famous is the River Çoruh, renowned internationally as one of the fastest flowing in the world.
The Dalaman River, whose ancient name was Indos, begins in the Koçaş Mountain near Dirmil and lies between Marmaris and Fethiye. The total length of the river is 229 km. Increased by branches from the Göktepe and Yaylacık Mountains of West Toros (Taurus), it flows through a narrow and deep valley and reaches the sea 8 km south of Ortaca.
As the river is fed with the natural limestone, the turquoise-blue water is always clear and warm. The Dalaman is near the popular areas of the Mediterranean and Aegean, so it attracts local and foreign tourists and rafting is possible throughout the year. For accommodation, there are many guest-houses in Akköprü village.
COURSE
The rafting points can be easily reached from Marmaris, Dalyan, Fethiye and Turunç and from Dalaman airport. The water level of the river, in which rafting is possible throughout the year, rises the most in September and October. As flowing water forms small falls, there are passes among the course, which divert the river into two separate branches over the Akköprü village.
The upper branch is class 5 and the lower is class 3 - 4. Once reaching Akköprü, the flow rate of the river increases and class becomes higher.

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.

Köprüçay River
Arising from the Taurus and passing through the canyons which are natural beauties, Köprüçay falls into the Mediterranean from the south of Serik. Köprüçay river, feeding on the subterranean waters of the high-walled canyons standing on both sides, is one of the most beautiful natural recreation areas of Turkey. Besides that, Selge city, possessing a rich archeological heritage such as historical castles, aqueducts, bridges and roads from the Roman era, is also entitled as the most popular rafting course of Turkey. It hosts thousands of local and foreign tourists as it is close to the touristic sites like Alanya, Side, Belek and Kemer as well.

CLUB
The Marmaris International Yacht Club was founded in 1992 by the yachtsmen and women of Marmaris. Prior to the formation of the club, these people would hold various amateur races between themselves but once the club was set up, they saw an opportunity to create an official get-together and organized the first Marmaris Race Week.
The MIYC has about 80 members today and each year during the Marmaris Race Week, hosts around 120 yachts and 1000 racers from all over the world.
The MIYC has also been the main body responsible for the organization of the Marmaris Yacht Festival for many years. This is an international event which gives the local crewed charter yachts and local agencies to promote themselves and the Turkish coast as a charter destination.
MIYC has started the Yacht and Yacht Equipments Fair with a couple of stands on the first years of the festival. Now it has expanded its activity range with the yacht and yacht equipments fair by organizing it as a separate event since 2001. The fair is organized by the time of festival each year and it provides an extra potential to the region's existing maritime business.
Setur Marmaris Netsel Marina is located in the heart of antiquity and unsurpassed natural beauty, while remaining totally unspoiled unlike so many others areas in the Mediterranean. The bay has no underwater hazards such as sand banks or rocks so it's extremely safe to approach through VHF, channel 06 and you will be directed by the control tower staff into a berth.
