About the spot

Tırmata Beach at Kilyos is on the Black Sea coast of Istanbul’s European side. Surf School Istanbul offers kite lessons from a broad sandy shore. The exposed coast can produce wind waves and surf; lesson timing depends on actual conditions.

The school generally describes warm-season instruction from spring to autumn. Winter riding additionally requires cold-water protection and experience. Confirm beach-club access, corridor and rescue coverage before visiting. Beginners need supervision; independent riders must account for swimmers and the return through surf.
