Scuba diving in Turkey is a new activity that's gaining popularity especially in the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts specaily in Kas.There is plethora of animals,plants,historical ruins and treasures in the undersea world.. There are many diving centers in Turkey and , enables us to match your level of experience, language preferences and specific requirements to the best resort and to the most appropriate and professionally run dive centers..Diving conditions are excellent throughout the diving season -April to November- and clear blue waters with viz. of up to 30 metre is the norm.

Paragliding

by 80-bettyboo

Paragliding is the simplest form of human flight.The Mediterranean of Turkey,especially Oludeniz provides ideal conditions for paragliding( the best place in Europe I reckon )and Paragliding in Oludeniz ia as famous as the area itself....once you are on the air,you will probably be surprised by how quiet and peaceful the experience is..and don't forget take your camera with you to record the experience of a lifetime. To make this sport, you don't have to be experienced. All you have to do is, to choose which company to fly with, among lots of the agencies in Oludeniz..If you don't have a licence to fly, you will have your first experience with a licenced and experienced pilot. The pilots do everything for you. All you have to do is just to enjoy the beauties ...

Spiraling down to the Turquoise Sea

by Weissdorn

The people who have done it, say it's the ultimate experience they ever had in Turkey. They drive you all the way up the granite mountain that towers over the Fethiye Bay, you get a pilot assigned to you, and the both of you skip, hop and jump until a gentle breeze lifts you over the hill and lets you spiral slowly down to the beautiful pristine turquoise bay of Ölideniz. They provide the equipment, and if you don't already have a license to paraglide they provide you with a pilot, so you can do a tandem jump.They also have a paragliding school, that belongs to one of the best ones in Europe.

Cappadocia

Many regions in Turkey offer some great hiking opportunities.The spectacular landscape around Göreme for excemple is a good playground for hikers. Bring your tent with you or if the weather is stable you can also take only a sleeping bag, as during the summer the temperatures won`t be a problem.

Fishing

by Gili_S

Obviously surrounding with water fishing is a good option in Turkey, by the beach or on the boat. Not sure of the licensing and regulations here so you better ask before you start.

Beach Volley

by Gili_S

Even that the weather is very convenient, it seems that Beach Volley hasn’t got yet to be very popular here and there fore not very crowded yet, but I guess this is just a matter of time ;-)
