The geography of the region provides unlimited pleasure for outdoor sports fans;
NOVEMBER - DECEMBER
Paragliding : When the west wind stops, the season for paragliding begins. The summit of Mount Sakar , rising behind Akyaka, is 950 m high and you will find a specially designed platform from which to launch.. The views of the Gulf from this point are spectacular.
Biking : As the area around Gokova Plain and the Bay are very flat biking is an ideal sport for all the family. For the more adventurous biker there is a steep downhill course from the top of Mount Sakar to Gokova Bay . Bikes can be hired in the village.
JANUARY - MARCH
Trekking : You will find a guide book showing Akyaka and Gokova trekking routes in a file at The Ula House. Most routes follow the paths through pine forests or around the Gokova Plain.
Snowboarding : The Ski centre is 3,5 hours drive from Akyaka. The prices are reasonable and the quality of snow and runs are surprisingly good. February and March is the top season for the resort.
