BODRUM

Bodrum is a charming and fascinating little port,
270 km. south of Izmir, on the Aegean coast of
Turkey. The inhabitants of Bodrum are around 30.000 and earn their living by fishing, boat-building, agriculture, weaving and tourism, which has become the most important industry in Bodrum for the last few years.

The heart of Bodrum town is around the harbour, where shops, bars and restaurants jostle together in the narrow streets under the shadow of the St. Peter Castle 
There is much more to Bodrum than the town itself, within easy reach of Bodrum by minibus, or "Dolmush", you can visit many picturesque villages on the Bodrum peninsular all with a distinct character of their own. 

Bodrum has its own airport and although Bodrum airport is a relatively new one - the facilities are excellent.

ALTINKUM

Lying on the sunny Aegean coast is the popular resort of Altinkum. Famous for its gently sloping sandy beaches fringing crystal clear waters, Altinkum means 'Golden Sands'.
Altinkum has two long crescent beaches lying at each end of the resort, starting at Altinkum harbour and finishing at a rocky headland promontory, so providing over 1 km of beach.
The sun-warmed waters along Altinkum beach are mainly shallow for a couple of hundred metres and are ideal for both supervised children and non-swimmers.
Come evening, Altinkum offers a huge choice of restaurants and bars to suit every taste with most entertainment centred around the two main squares and the bar street.
Altinkum is situated approximately 1hr 30 mins from Bodrum Airport.

AKBUK

Akbuk nestles on the edge of a vast crystal clear bay and is completely surrounded by protected pine forest and hillside. 
There are some excellent restaurants in Akbuk where you can enjoy a delicious meze with a glass of Raki, followed by the sweetest tasting baklava. Afterwards a stroll down to Akbuk harbour for a late night drink is the perfect end to a lovely day. 

If you prefer a livelier night out Akbuk is only a short drive to Altinkum, where you will find a good selection of bars and nightclubs, here you can sing and dance all night long if you want to.

Akbuk town centre is self contained with mini markets, local shops, restaurants and bars. Water sports and other leisure pursuits are readily available in Akbuk. Historical and tourist attractions in the area include Apollo Temple, Miletus, Prienne and Bafa Lake National Park. 

It is approximately 45 minutes drive from Akbuk to Bodrum Airport.
