A country divided between the two continents of Europe and Asia, Turkey is an incredible travel destination with a lot to offer – including sandboarding.

There are many incredible beaches filled with dunes, and you can practice sand surfing on some of them.

The best sandboarding dunes are located at Patara beach, near the cities of Antalya and the village of Gelemiş, Kaş.
