Gülbahçe, located in western Turkey, has quickly become a hotspot for kitesurfing, attracting both beginners and experienced riders from all over the world. It’s just 60 km from Izmir, making it easy to reach and perfect for a combined adventure and cultural getaway.
The wind in the area is mostly thermal, which means it’s created by temperature differences between land and sea – resulting in steady and reliable wind conditions. For beginners, this means a safe and consistent learning environment, while more advanced kitesurfers can take full advantage to practice tricks and enjoy high-speed riding.
Beyond its incredible kitesurfing, Gülbahçe offers a wide range of activities, making it a great destination for active travelers. At the surf camp, you can unwind with some slacklining, test out the skateboard ramp, or play a round of table tennis.
Izmir is one of Turkey’s most fascinating cities, blending the old with the new. Here, you can wander through traditional bazaars where you’ll find handmade goods, textiles, and spices – or visit museums to dive deeper into the region’s rich history.
For culture enthusiasts, a visit to Ephesus is a must. Once a major commercial and cultural hub of the Roman Empire, it is now one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the world. You can walk among its ruins and marvel at sites like the Library of Celsus, the Great Theatre, and the Temple of Artemis – one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

I was a single traveller, the general kind of suspicious guy that gets the attentions when surrounded by groups and families in a resort not only because he is outrageously sexy but because he on his own like Mr.Beam…but no way I ever felt not at ease like that or either a fish out of water..I have found very good vibes and a super cool atmosphere that locals /Turkish people showed me. I enjoyed joining as much as I wanted new friendly people and everything was just made for welcoming my ideas of having fun (except sex) and relax in a place very cozy and comfortable where I had the chance to practice more intensively the kite rather than struggling for the right conditions with small progress. I have spent less money than I expected for extras. The entire staff was nice and despite of my last-minute decision to get a quick solution for having a good time, this self-service package of vacation by DBP supported by UrlaHouseCamp worked perfectly to me . I strongly recommend it, I just hope that a great success that I wish for them won’t ever become the cause of the end of the wonderful respectful atmosphere that I have found. Cheeers, Giacomo
