Olive groves and the afternoon wind
Bitez
A crescent bay where centuries-old olive groves reach the sand and the Meltem drives one of Türkiye's best windsurf scenes.
Mornings on Bitez bay are gentle enough for a first windsurf lesson; afternoons bring the thermal wind that has kept schools like Rush Windsurf here since 1993. The beach is long, sandy and shallow, which makes it the peninsula's natural family shore.
Behind the beach, tangerine and olive gardens fill the valley floor. Bitez keeps local restaurants rather than international brands, and a quieter pace to match.
