Altinkum is a beautiful resort right on the Aegean coast, and is popular amongst families as it has three beautiful sandy beaches with waters that are relatively shallow for a long way out. Each of the beaches offers a good variety of watersports, and it's easy to spend all your days just sunbathing and relaxing, as there are plenty of bars and restaurants willing to serve drinks and snacks all day long.
But what happens if you get bored of spending all your time on the beach? This is when you'll be glad you chose Altinkum, as its perfectly located to explore this interesting area.
There are a number of great places to see nearby, including Pamakkule which is renowned for being one of the natural wonders of the world. This unique geological phenomenon was formed more than 14,000 years ago by carbonate mineral deposits, and the area is well known for its hot springs that are reputed to have therapeutic qualities.
Ephesus is a beautifully preserved ancient city which dates back to the 12th century BC. It used to be an important religious and trading centre, and St Paul is said to have lived here for two years. The Temple of Apollo is incredibly famous, and is very close to Altinkum. This ancient site is well worth seeing even if you aren't particularly keen on history.
Altinkum is a great place to have a Turkish bath, and the experience is extremely relaxing and cleansing. One of the nicest things about going on holiday is experiencing new cuisine, and there are a number of good restaurants in Altinkum that offer traditional Turkish food. Not surprisingly seafood is a speciality, and is always beautifully fresh.
