Enjoy a holiday in Turkey windsurfing. Our windsurfing holidays in Turkey make this exciting and exhilarating sport accessible to everybody. If you have ever wanted to learn windsurfing, Turkey is a great place to start.

With free expert tuition and RYA coaching on windsurfing holidays to Turkey at the Seaside Hotel and Club Teos you'll improve in leaps and bounds. Whatever your age or ability, just step on board and have a go.

Neilson have been windsurfing in Turkey for nearly 30 years, with superb equipment and excellent instruction. Our Beachclubs in Turkey are Royal Yachting Association (RYA) Training Centres, ensuring high standards of safety, equipment and instruction.

You will have the chance to learn to windsurf alongside other activities. Beachplus windsurf sessions  tend to be shorter than in our dedicated windsurf centres of Vassiliki and Dahab, where tuition follows a more structured, progressive approach over six consecutive days. However the focus remains the same - making the most of the conditions  for your level of ability, allowing top tuition at the right time whilst still giving you the flexibility to get everything out of yoour holiday that you want.

Beginners will progress throughout the week working on the Start Windsurfing certificate. Intermediates will concentrate on progressing technique and move onto more advancd boards. These sessions introduce and utilise the RYA Fast Forward coaching model. When the winds are at their best there is also tuition for advanced sailors in line with the RYA Advanced Scheme.

If need be, our staff are on hand to rig and launch a range of boards and sails for your independent use within our safety area.

Ortakent and Teos are some of the best destinations for windsurfing in Turkey, by the afternoon the wind usually picks up to a fresh force 4 with exciting and challenging conditions for improvers and adventurous beginners, who will enjoy the wide range of boards for all levels and conditions.

Windsurfing can be combined with a wide range of other activities including dinghy sailing, waterskiing, scuba diving, tennis and mountain biking.

Optional, expert tuition is included in the price of all windsurfing holidays to Turkey.

From 'Start Windsurfing' for complete beginners to intermediate and advanced sessions covering the harness, footstraps, waterstart and carve gypes, our RYA training centres offer the freedom to take advantage of expert tuition whenever you like.

My last minute booking to Teos (5-12 Sept) was the result of a mad-moment on a miserable Saturday afternoon. My intended destination of Cornwall for the following Saturday had little appeal considering the cold and dark summer days - so I decided to venture out to Turkey instead. It was my first Nielson holiday and my first travelling alone, so I was a little apprehensive and unsure of what to expect when I got there. There was however absolutely no need to worry, the Teos team made a special effort to get all the single travellers together on the transfer to the hotel - I met a fantastic group of people with whom I shared a lot of laughs and many, many, many bottles of wine!! The hotel,food,accommodation and facilities can not be faulted - but the real stars of the show are the staff who are ever professional and enthusiastic, ensuring that everyone had a good time. Special thanks must go to Ibo, Jen and Matt for their excellent intermediate training sessions in the SB3's - particularly during some high winds on the Monday - an experience never to be forgotten! .... And to Yekta and Yusef in the bar for always ensuring that we had a fresh supply of wine to help soothe the pain of my/our many bruises! All in all it was a fantastic holiday - I hope to have another mad moment next year so that I can return for some more..... Clare

family holiday in Teos July25-aug8th. Just wanted to report what a fantastic holiday we had in Teos. Our 1st time with Nielsons. Staff were incredibly friendly, patient and helpful. Especially good instruction from Amy, Rusty, Ben and jw. Great fitness programme from Lou, childrens clubs were amazing, the energy that those guys have!! Thanks Sally, Henry, Natalie for all your hard work. Glenn was inspired with TAG, I do hope his hair is o.k. now, the tags removed it for him...as a fund raiser for Jakes sail 4 cancer. Really enjoyed the spa and had several treatments, which were needed after a day in a pico. Thankyou so much, we will definitely be back. The Murdochs.

Hi ,

I have just returned from a wicked holiday at The Seaside in Ortakent. I can't totally put in words how much fun my friend and I had.
We went on the Adult Only week in May 08 and truely can't fault anything about the whole week.
The room we stayed in was great and the hotel facilities as a whole were fab.
The food was great , sooo much to choose from every day and really fresh.
I have to say that one of the main things that made the holiday for me were the people. Both the Neilson Staff and the other guests. Everyone was sooo friendly and helpful.
James and Gary did a fantastic job and were sooo approachable and sociable at all times. Rusty's beach team were fab as well although I didn't do many of the beach activities on this holiday as we focusing on the wakeboarding but my friend and I got to know the team throughout the week and they were such good fun and really helpful and next time will make more of an effort to do some of the beach activities :)
The main team who my friend and I spent the most time with was the pontoon team and they were awesome. We payed the additional supplement to get guaranteed sets in each day and it was 100% worth it . Oly was our main instructor throughout the week and he was superb. I am totally missing his tuition back home already as his teaching skills are spot on. We both improved loads over the week and him videoing us on our boards and then giving constructive feedback really helped.
It was my first Neilson beach holiday and I can't believe I haven't discovered them before. I will defo. be going on another , in fact a group of us are hoping to head back out to Turkey in Sept./Oct..but would be even better if Neilson decide to put on another "Adults Only Week" as we will defo. be booking for that one :)
Thanks to the whole Ortakent team !
