25 changing facilities, chill out area, volley ball, outdoor gym, table football, kids play area, yoga and Pilates. Plus there’s a contemporary café and cool little beach bar-restaurant a fins throw from the water serving delicious stone baked pizzas. Non-windsurfers love it There’s a private sheltered comfortable viewing area with beach loungers, huge bean bags, bar and café just a mast length from the beach. The ambience on the beach and the quaint market town of Alacati in the evenings safe is very welcoming and gives that real holiday feel. For the more adventurous there’s Ephesus or Pamukkale for a cultural hit. Après windsurfing So yes, we have to admit, it's not just the windsurfing that has enticed the Windwise team back year on year - beautiful, unspoilt, cobbled streets and old stone architecture, bring Alacati alive at night, buzzing with friendly restaurants and chilled out bars. Everywhere we go, the chefs, owners and locals greet us with open arms and incredible Turkish food. Alacati is tucked well away from mass tourism – no English voices - you are truly immersing yourself where the cosmopolitan Turkish choose to holiday. Why Windwise In Alacati? Firstly, our Skills Training System covers all the Windwise Skills & Drills to improve every aspect of your windsurfing. We have coached literally thousands to enhance their level and be the best that they can be and Alacati creates a wonderful environment to achieve that. During Windwise sessions we often run our Upwind- Downwinder experiences across and then up to the very top of the bay, multiplying tack and gybe attempts and then learning to sail downwind into the ‘secret garden’ of effortless fast broad reaching, which feels magical! Secondly, not only do we take a dedicated approach to your progression, we also seek to give you experiences that few would ever find. For example we’ll take you to a place that’s pretty much private dining - I’m not allowed to say where it is. It is quite simply one of the most amazing places to eat that I’ve ever taken clients to. We also venture to a sunset picnic near a Roman Amphitheatre, which is only accessible by foot and only ever visited by a handful of locals. uk WIND SURFING
