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.

Whether you are an experienced expedition paddler, a relative novice, or a total beginner, we have a guided trip to suit you – choose a 1-day, 3-day or 6-day trip, or let us design a customised itinerary for you.Most of our guided trips are camping-based; on some routes, for private groups we also offer the option of accommodation in small pensions for part or all of the trip.

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.

‘"I just wanted to thank Alternatif Outdoor for such a great holiday. The equipment was excellent, the route worked really well and looked well researched. The level of activity was just right: challenging, but with some relaxed afternoons on the beach. We’ve had a great time, I’d recommend you to anyone." |

"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!" |

"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. " |
