kitesurfers, Ayvalik is a hidden gem. With crystal-clear Aegean
waters and strong winds, this beautiful district offers outstanding experiences
for kitesurfing.

renting surf equipment. Urla, another destination, is a top spot for
kitesurfing. With its strong winds, Urla meets all the requirements for an
outstanding kitesurfing experience. It's also home to many surf training
facilities and private classes.
