Castles
Edit SpotAbout
Nothing like it.
Atmosphere:
Kizkalesi is a really laid back town to hang out in. The wave is ok, but if your getting surf in Turkey then its a good day. Plus, where else are you going to surf with a huge Castle as your backdrop.
Additional Info:
You can park your car across the street from the Hotel Barbarossa. There is a good spot to eat at right there too, the Cafe Rain. The spot is completly empty in the winter when there are waves, but its packed in the summer.
