Turkey Yoga and Kitesurf Holiday
Travel with OceanSoul on a unique kitesurfing experience with yoga to windy Akyaka in Turkey. You can participate as a complete beginner or as an experienced kiter.

Akyaka is known for its stable thermal wind that starts in the morning and lasts until sunset. The wind can vary between 7 m/s and 10 m/s (It's thermic and NEVER appears on any forecast).
