Aegean Region, Turkey
Kite spot on the north-west coast of the Bodrum peninsula near the AVTA holiday village, also referenced as Gümbet/Kadikalesi. The northwest thermal wind builds from midday and delivers cross-shore conditions in the range 16–25 kt during peak summer. Sandy beach with direct sea launch; real waves form along the shoreline, making this an intermediate-to-advanced spot suited for wave riding and freestyle. Nearby Bitez bay is the flatter beginner alternative. Season April–October.
Akçaalan is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Bodrum, Muğla Province, Turkey. Its population is 9,408 (2024).

You've already got wind data — the hard part is knowing what it means for you. Most kiters end up checking two, three, four apps and still asking: can I actually go? Breeza was built by a kiter who had the same problem. Feed it your gear, weight and level and it tells you if Kadikalesi / Gümbet is rideable right now. The answer, not the tabs.
