The coastline of south-west Turkey, where the Aegean Sea meets the Mediterranean Sea, is a paradise for sea kayakers: steep rugged cliffs, deserted sandy bays, deep clear pools, hidden coves and fascinating islands, not to mention a variety of sea life and sea birds. The coastline is dotted with ruined castles and cities. Yet despite its beauty, this coast is rarely visited outside the tourist resorts. And of course the climate makes our area even more attractive for paddling hot, settled, sunny weather for much of the year, and a relatively warm sea.

Alternatif Outdoor was the first to introduce sea kayaking to this part of Turkey and we have been running paddling trips here since 1998. We insist on using high-quality, well-maintained equipment and experienced English-speaking guides.
Experienced paddlers also have the option of renting kayaks and gear for an independent trip.

"World class! We had a wonderful trip. It is the perfect way to experience Turkey and all she has to offer. From the beautiful lake and sea, the ruins, experiencing the beautiful local food, you have really put together a unique tour. Good exercise, good sightseeing, good company. The boats and tents were in excellent shape and everything went as promised. As Vedat said, he considered us his guests and he treated us like very special guests. Thank you so much, we will certainly recommend you highly. " |

‘"This was an idyllic holiday – on the first night I lay awake watching the stars and thinking too much…by the last evening I watched the stars in meditation and felt gently aware of the whispering sea, the faint breeze…at ‘one’ with my surroundings and ready to accept the adventure was nearly over. I hope to come again on another trip and will not just recommend this holiday, but broadcast it to any passerby who will listen!" |

We had an amazing time and would like to say what a fantastic trip we all thought it was and how fantastic Vedat and Engin were, they made it a trip never to be forgotten. I have been on many holidays with guides before but they are definitely the best. We were all very sad when it came to an end.
Thank you for your fantastic communication with me which made it very easy to organise.
