About the area... Altinkum is set on the Aegean Coast (Bodrum Pennisula), in the south west of Turkey (nearest side to UK). Flights are to IZMIR (1.5 hours) or Bodrum (1.15 hours). Altinkum, sometimes called Didm/Didyma is famous for its miles of soft fine sandy beaches and is rich in history with the Appollo temple at the top of the resort. Altinkum is not as busy as some of the other resorts such as Kusadasi or Marmaris, but does cater for all tastes. Altinkum is like an upside down "T" wiht the bottom of the T being the beach where this complex is, the main stick being the beaulevard with many large shops and supermarket, and the end of this stick being the main town centre. The town centre has many typcial Turkish restuarants and shops, and are much cheaper than those in the beach area. The dolmush (mini bus) passes every few minutes and will take you anywhere in the resort for about 40p. New is 2005 is the fantastic water park, with various pools, slides, rides and floating toys. It is great value at 20 YTL for adults and 8 YTL for children. This is a 10 minute ride outside the resort.
