Gokova
Gokova, Turkey
About this spot:
Gokova is one of our favorite spots. Just a two-hour drive from the airport and you find yourself in a small village that lives all around kitesurfing and fishing. There are stunning landscapes. The location between the mountains creates a Venturi effect so you don't have to worry about the wind stability. Locals say its windy over 90% of days during the season.
The water is flat. Riding there brings great fun.
There are few kiteschools both for beginners and advanced riders who want to nail a few new tricks. Due to another devaluation of the lira, it seems to be one of the cheapest spots.
Important: This destination may have COVID-19 travel restrictions in place, including
specific restrictions for lodging. Check any national, local, and health advisories for this
destination before booking.
