When approaching Alaçatı, the first eye-catcher for the visitors is the windmills that embrace the sky with their white sails.
The windmills some of which have been here for more than a hundred years point out the good relation between Alaçatı and the wind.
When sea view is available, many colourful windsurf boards dancing on the water welcome you.
If your visit comes across with the Kite Festival, you can witness to a visual feast of the kites dominating the sky.
The never-ending wind makes Alaçatı a windsurfing heaven.
For windsurfing fans, one other charming fact is that the sea never gets wavy.
What is more is that the sea depth is not more than one and a half meter even far from the coast.
All these reasons make Alaçatı one of the most popular seven windsurfing centres in the world.
Alaçatı welcomes windsurfers from all over the world mostly between May and September.
For those who want to try this beautiful sport, there are windsurfing schools.
For keeping the cultural values and traditional dishes alive, Alaçatı Herb Festival is held annually at the beginning of April, heralding the spring.
The rising popularity of Alaçatı has resulted in the opening of a large number of hotels and pensions.

To find peace and serenity, Alaçatı is the perfect choice with its stone houses decorated with bougainvillaea flowers, cobblestoned streets, beautiful nature, rich history, and warm and gracious people.
