Akbuk is situated in a beautiful part of Turkey, and is a small and relaxing resort which used to be a fishing village. Although peaceful, it's not remote as it's just a few minutes’ drive from Altinkum, and is conveniently close to both Bodrum and Izmir international airports.
It's popular with Turkish people seeking a quiet retreat from the big cities, and many who holiday in the resort year after year eventually choose to retire here. This might make it sound very sleepy, but there is still plenty to see and do which would keep the average holidaymaker occupied for a couple of weeks or more.
There are lots of gorgeous beaches which are perfect for a few days hard sunbathing, or there are boat trips available from the local marina. However the area is well known for its numerous historical sites such as the Temple of Apollo which is only a short distance away.
It's a must see for everyone who visits the area, even for those who aren't particularly interested in history as it's quite spectacular. There is also a good waterpark at Altinkum, or a much larger one at the resort of Kusadasi, which is only 73 km away.
For an authentic Turkish experience, first-time visitors should definitely make time to go to a Turkish bath, an experience which is both relaxing and invigorating. Back in Akbuk, there are plenty of bars and restaurants to explore in the evenings, many of whom offer authentic Turkish food, although there is still plenty of more familiar food available for the less adventurous
