Altinkum literally means ' Golden Sands' and with a choice of some fabulous sandy beaches you can see why the resort has this name.  Altinkum is located on the beautiful Aegean Coast of Turkey and is just 1 hour and 15 minutes drive from Bodrum airport and 2 hours from Izmir airport.

Altinkum benefits from the resort amenities being so close to the main beach.  There are a vast array of restaurants, bars, nightclubs and shops to choose from.

Sightseeing

Temple of Apollo and Miletus

Just a short 4 KM Dolmus (public minibus service) ride away in the town of Didim stands the famous 'Temple of Apollo'.   You can walk around the magnificent columns that were erected almost 3000 years ago.  See the snake-adorned head of Medusa as you enter the temple ruins.  Another great example of the ancient world is at Miletus - 20 KM from Altinkum.

Pamukkale

Pamukkale which means 'Cotton Castle' is famous for its calcium terraces which incredibly really do like they are made from white cotton! 

The beautiful natural phenomenon has limestone valleys and freshwater pools that shimmer in the sunlight.

 

 Ephesus

Home of the temple built for the goddess Artemis, Ephesus is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.  It is not surprisingly that Ephesus is the most visited tourist attraction in Turkey.
