FAQ

When is the tourist season in Akyaka?

The season lasts from late April to late October. The high season is July-August: hot and crowded. The most comfortable months are May-June and September-October: warm sea, fewer people, lower accommodation prices.

What is Azmak?

Azmak is a short but very photogenic river with icy crystal clear water, the main natural attraction of Akyaka. Short boat tours run along the river, and fish restaurants operate on the shore. A large flock of geese, favorites of both locals and visitors, also lives here.

What are the conditions for kitesurfing?

At the kite beach of Akyaka, from May to October, a stable thermal wind of 14-20 knots blows. The shallow water with a sandy bottom, without waves, tides, and currents — the spot is ideal for both beginners and progress.

What does 'slow city' mean?

Akyaka has been part of the international Cittaslow network since 2011. This means a ban on high-rise buildings, a unified architectural style, the absence of chain restaurants and large all-inclusive hotels, and support for local businesses, cuisine, and crafts.

Are the beaches paid?

The city beach and most of the coastline in the center are free; you can come with your own towel. There is a paid entrance to the equipped kite beach. Some hotels and restaurants on the shore have their own beach areas with paid sunbeds, but this is not mandatory.
