Kalesi Plaji is a surf spot located just east of a 4000-year-old castle. This beach offers a mix of scenery and surf opportunities that can cater to surfers looking for something different. The atmosphere is laid-back, and you can usually find a few fellow surfers sharing the waves.

The waves here can be pretty fun, especially with the right conditions. The beachbreak can be hollow and fast at times, but many prefer the left reef, which has a clear paddling channel, making it easier to access the waves. For the best results, look for a north-west swell (that’s around 2ft or 0.6 meters) or a north-east swell. The waves break over rock ledges, and you’ll get the most enjoyment from low to mid to high tide. If the wind is coming from the south-east, that’s typically ideal. Keep in mind, this spot works best for intermediate surfers, so make sure you’re comfortable out there.

When planning your session, remember that the surf conditions can change quickly, so it’s a good idea to check the forecast before heading out. The vibe at Kalesi Plaji is relaxed, making it a good place to enjoy some time in the water. Just grab your gear, and be ready for some fun waves!
