Dance with the wind

Alacati

To experience the country with heart and soul, you need to visit cities that are not written about in guidebooks and are not spoken about in travel agencies. Turkey is not only Istanbul, Kemer and Antalya. In the depths of this country, the small town of Alacati is hidden, which you will remember forever.

Now Alacati is known mostly for windsurfing. Smooth water, shallow waters and steady wind make this place attractive for both beginners and experienced surfers.

In the Avanos district of Nevsehir, famous for its handicrafts, carpet factories – shops frequented by tourists – offer a “living museum” service.
Visitors, accompanied by a guide, observe the production of silk by the craftsmen, the processes of dyeing roots and the work of women weaving carpets on a loom, and witness the adventures of making carpets that are woven from thread into loop.
Pearl of Cappadocia: onyx stone
The onyx stone, known as the lucky stone, is a type of semi-precious stone. This stone is actually gray and black with light stripes. This opaque stone is as bright as glass.
