Head for the Waters: Top Watersports Resorts

If you’re planning to head for the water in 2013, summer is the time to do it. Whether you choose a beach club as your base or you opt instead for a lakeside retreat, such as one of the Italian lakes holidays on offer, you’ll be sure to be at the heart of the action.

Watersports holidays are an extremely popular choice for many outdoors enthusiasts. Where you choose depends on what sports you are interested in, but as long as you have sun, water and thrills, you can’t really go far wrong.

Lake Garda

Far from being a beach club retreat, Lake Garda in the north of Italy is incredibly popular with thrillseekers. The northern town of Torbole is a central hub for watersports fans, and the excellent wind conditions provide an idyllic opportunity for windsurfers and kitesurfers. Kayaking and sailing are equally popular in the area, and as the largest lake in Italy, there’s ample space.

Adakoy

As the base for yachts and sailing trips and also providing perfect conditions for watersports including kayaking, windsurfing and snorkelling, Adakoy in Turkey is an absolute must see. Whether it’s the crystal clear waters or the golden sands that entice you, you can’t go far wrong with Turkish beach clubs, and Adakoy is one of the best.

Sivota

A perfect base for a day sail excursion, giving you the option to relax on deck or explore the local surroundings. Cool off in the azure waters, where you can swim or snorkel, or head for one of the sheltered bays to sign up for a watersport experience, such as waterskiing, wakeboarding or dinghy sailing.

Whether it’s a lake or an ocean that appeals for your 2013 sojourn, start planning your vacation online now and take advantage of any savings to be had.
