The package resorts of Altinkum and Didim are popular with Turkish & British tourists for their long sandy beach. In fact, Altinkum means “Golden Sand” in Turkish. As you’d expect there are plenty of watersports on offer and you can visit Didim’s Temple of Apollo, famous in ancient times for it’s oracle. The historical sites of Miletus, Priene and Ephesus are also just a short drive away and there’s a useful ferry service to Bodrum during the summer. The area around nearby Lake Bafa is beautifully unspoilt and excellent for walking in the spring.
