About the apartments...These are two apartments, a 3 bed, 3 bath penthouse occupying the 2nd and top floor, and a 1 bed, 1 bath apartment below on the ground floor. This combination is ideal for two or threee families that want to holiday together and giving a little bit of extra privacy last thing at night or first thing in the morning. The terrace and patio furniture can be moved around so that you can all spend the days and evenings together, dining and watching over the pools. Airconditioned, and very tastefully furnished apartments have everything you need to sipping wine on the balcony people watching over the pool area and ornate gardens. We sit out in the evenings, with the pool lit up, and sound of crickets in the background, it really is very therapuetic!

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.
