Alaci is a small village, located on the Cesme Peninsula, off the coast of the Aegean Sea, which until recently the resort could not even be called. Only fishermen and artisans lived here, at the beginning of the Greeks, and from the beginning of the last century the Turks.
But the geographical feature and natural conditions that have attracted the attention of windsurfing lovers, turned this resort to the favorite place of classes and competitions of fans at the beginning of this water type, and in the subsequent and kaitsurfing.
Alachati has so quickly gained its popularity that today it has more than one hundred sixty hotels of various levels and comfort. The basis of water sports is five large windsurfing centers, the oldest and large of which is '' ASPC ''. Moreover, this center is considered the largest not only at this resort, but also throughout Turkey. It offers training and rental of the necessary equipment of the most recent models, famous global brands. By the way, you can immediately take equipment and kaitsurfing, and who does not attract these water sports, can rent mountain bikes for their walks.
Some can decide that there is nothing to do with ordinary tourists at this resort. Immediately I can say that lovers of noisy night parties in various kinds of clubs or shopaholians who cannot live without hiking on shopping centers and bazaars, it will seem boring. But those who prefer a calm and measured rest, as well as tourists with children, will surely appreciate the advantages of this resort. The relief of the seabed with small depths and the beach with golden sand, is ideal for family holidays, especially with young children. Shaved from fifty centimeters to one and a half meters of depth extended hundreds of meters. If you love skating on a blackboard, but without night entertainment you can not do, and those that are in this resort you do not fully fully, there is nothing easier to get to the neighboring town of Cesme, which is located a few kilometers and where nightlife sufficient enough.
Many vacationers are doing that, from Czheme come to Alacati to ride on Wind or Kitesurfing, and from this resort there are time to travel to Cesme, where there are some of the best diving centers in Turkey, historical sights and a ferry message with neighboring Greek Islands and some cities of Italy. So, as you can see, when combining rest on these two resorts, you can make your stay here very interesting and varied.
For those who have never been engaged in windsurfing, but would like to try their strength in this sport, and from all start-up interest, ninety continue to engage in and for many windsurfing becomes one of the hobby in life, there are schools for beginners in the centers. The minimum learning date takes three days, after which you can already independently take equipment rental and ride. The weekly course of newcomers is about two hundred fifty dollars. It includes daily two-hour lessons and fully all necessary equipment. I want to note that children aged from seven to seventeen years old are studying, so coming with the children of this age, you can easily take them with this sport, and they will give you the opportunity to safely relax from the permanent presence.
Classes are conducting experienced instructors, and equipment, including sails, are selected based on weather conditions, or rather the direction and strength of the wind. All centers are located on the coast of the bay, and the hotels themselves are scattered both on the beach and all over the village. The significance of this resort for lovers of windsurf says the fact that international competitions on this, fascinating sport, are held here.
Kitesurfing fans spend their time on another beach, which is a bit away. This is a deserted and wild beach, which can be reached by car, having endured a cape or use a special boat service that runs between these beaches several times a day. The cost of delivery on the boat is about seven dollars. Catania zones do not intersect together, so athletes do not interfere with each other, which is a good factor for security.
That's about something that can expect you at this resort. The village itself with his streets and stone houses in the old style will take you so much positive and pleasant emotions that rest in Alacty will be remembered for a long time. Cozy cafes and restaurants with a rather diverse menu of national and European cuisine will help you quickly spend time. And seafood dishes are preparing only from the Freshlyland inhabitants of the local Aegean Sea.
Getting to the resort is independently not difficult, from Izmir airport to Alacati runs the bus about every thirty minutes. The distance is about eighty kilometers, and the fare is approximately six dollars. If you stop in one of the hotels in Cesme and come to Alacati to ride on the boards, some hotels are specifically provided for this transfer, which costs four dollars there and back.
It is worth noting that on Saturdays in Alacati comes the market, which is located in the center of the village. You can buy various fruits, vegetables and other food products on the market, and there is also a choice of low-cost, souvenirs, shoes, dishes and other goods. Special attention of tourists attracted various oriental sweets and spices, without which the tourist does not leave home.
As I noted, the choice of hotels is quite diverse. If you are tired of big comfortable hotels with a valid sometimes on the nerves by animation, where noisy and fussy life, I advise you to choose one of the small family hotels in several rooms or a separate villa that is a large selection in Alati, even with pools. Better accommodation and can not be submitted. And accommodation prices are quite acceptable, as in principle and on food, if you cook yourself.
