Akbuk, originally a small fishing village is very much an undiscovered gem on the Aegean coastline between the well known resorts of Bodrum and Kusadasi. It is primarily a resort frequented by local turkish tourists and holidaymakers. However, being so close to the popular resort of Altinkum has led to many English people discovering Akbuk and in some cases, choosing to buy a holiday or retirement home there.
Akbuk is very peaceful and offers wonderful scenery with a beautiful bay, luscious green mountains behind with still large areas forested with pine trees. The whole bays sea-front is lined with trees and offers wonderful views of the bodrum penisular in the distance. Watching the sun-set over the penisular is fantastic viewing, especially over a bottle of Turkish Red wine!!
And for those lazy days, the centre of Akbuk offers a number of bars and restaurants to just sit, relax, and chill out where to enjoy the wonderful sun sets.
Every friday, all year round, there is a large local market where holiday makers from all round visit. Also, there is another market just minutes from our villa which is open every Tuesday throughout the main holiday season. There is also a small harbour where the local fishermen bring in the catches (sea-bream, sea-bass,etc) early morning.
Altinkum
Fastly becoming one of Turkeys premier resorts on the Aegean coastline, Altinkum, literally meaning Golden-Sands, offers 3 miles of fantastic beaches with shallow turquoise waters and is a bustling resort with a wide choice of restaurants, bars, clubs and entertainment.
Altinkum is approx. a 20 minute drive from the villa and will take approx 30 minutes with the local bus (or dolmus as they are locally known).
Around Altinkum, there are many things to keep you busy, from a new waterpark which opened in 2005, many local boat tours, including both the local 5 island tour and also day trips over to bodrum which gives you 5 or 6 hours there to either soak up the sun on some of the beaches there, or do some serious shopping!! or perhaps do some sightseeing, one place of particular interest being the impressive Bodrum castle.
Didim
Didim is now a large town that sits between Akbuk and the resort of Altinkum. It has become a commercial centre that supports both the local population and the increasing number of predominately English tourists that have bought both holiday and retirement homes in Altinkum.
There is a good choice of shops, supermarkets and restaurants in and around the town. Didim is known around the world as the home of the Temple of Apollo.
