Places for Extreme Sports in Turkey
Choosing a Location
We've researched extreme sports centers where you can enjoy Turkey's unique nature. Especially popular with European tourists, these extreme sports centers are much closer to you! As urbanization spreads rapidly in our country, areas suitable for nature sports and especially extreme sports are also rapidly decreasing. As a result, extreme sports can only be practiced in specific cities. While Turkey can be considered lucky in this regard due to its geography, the lack of sufficient awareness among citizens about this subject causes the number of sports centers to be low relative to the country's population. Most of these few centers are located in the Mediterranean and Aegean coastal strip, which is especially popular with foreign tourists in Turkey. Paragliding – Places for Extreme Sports in Turkey Paragliding is more popular among other extreme sports in Turkey. Paragliding, which began to be practiced in our country in the early 80s, is highly popular due to its lower risk compared to other extreme sports and its short training period. Babadağ Hill in Fethiye-Ölüdeniz is not only the first place where this sport is practiced in our country but also continues its popularity. Apart from Babadağ Hill, the main places for paragliding are: Denizli Çökelez, Eskişehir İnönü, Tekirdağ Uçmakdere. Scuba Diving – Places for Extreme Sports in Turkey Another extreme sport that we strongly recommend due to our country's unique nature is scuba diving. The place that European tourists, especially those interested in this sport, strongly recommend to each other is the Kaş district of Antalya. Kaş is a region where both beginners and professionals can find beautiful diving spots. Other popular diving spots in Turkey are İzmir Çeşme, Çanakkale Saros, Antalya Tekirova. Rock Climbing – Places for Extreme Sports in Turkey Another sport that adrenaline enthusiasts greatly enjoy is rock climbing.
Accommodation and Exploration
Our country's young mountains offer hundreds of points for this sport. Among these points are Tavşanlı Gebze and Faralya Fethiye. Cliff Diving - Places for Extreme Sports in Turkey Redbull, an energy drink brand, is pioneering the promotion and spread of this sport, which is relatively new in our country. Cliff diving, which has gained popularity in a short time, can be done on the cliffs in Antalya, the capital of tourism, without the need to build platforms. This sport, which is currently done with professional teams, is not yet suitable for amateur practice. We recommend you try extreme sports, which combine both nature and adrenaline, as soon as possible while you still have the chance.
