Akbuk is a small, former fishing village right on the Aegean coast which is becoming increasingly popular as a holiday destination, but what makes it so great, and why do so many people return year after year? For a start the resort is situated in an incredibly beautiful part of the world, and is surrounded by forests and mountains.
This helps explain some if its charms, as the air is renowned for its high oxygen content, and is very healthy for anyone suffering from asthma or associated conditions. The fact that it is surrounded by mountains is very beneficial during the height of the summer, when temperatures can hit the forties, as there tends to be a cooling breeze coming off the mountains, keeping the temperatures bearable.
There is no denying it is a quiet resort that may not suit everyone, but it does make a great escape from everyday life, and the local shops can provide everything necessary for day to day life. The larger resort of Altinkum is just up the road, and this does have a larger choice of shops, restaurants and bars.
Akbuk benefits from having beautiful, clean beaches, and even has its own small marina where you can book boat trips during the summer months. It would be easy to spend the whole holiday simply relaxing in this enchanting resort, but the surrounding countryside is packed full of things to see and do.
This region is rich in historical sites such as the Temple of Apollo, but if that isn’t your thing then there are lots of other activities, including a wide variety of watersports that are available from the local beaches or you can take part in more traditional past times such as indulging in a Turkish bath, just in case you’re not relaxed enough already.
