Altinkum Info

Lying on the sunny Aegean coast is the popular resort of Altinkum. Famous for it’s gently sloping, sandy beaches, fringing crystal clear waters. Altinkum means “Golden Sands”. Its two long, crescent beaches lie at each end of the resort, starting at the harbour and finishing at a rocky headland promontory, so providing over 1km of beach.

The sun-warmed waters along the beach are mainly shallow for a couple of hundred metres and are ideal for both supervised children and none swimmers. Sun beds on the sands make it easy to relax in tan building comfort, or if you are feeling energetic water sports are very popular.

Come evening, Altinkum offers a huge choice of restaurants and bars to suit every taste, with most entertainment centred around the Dolphin square, seafront area. In the height of the summer the centre of the resort becomes very lively.

Altinkum is not just about lazing around in the sunshine, as there is plenty to do during both the day and the evening. Even if history was never your thing at school, you cannot ignore the ancient world when you stay here, as Altinkum is close to many famous ancient sites where you can almost feel the past. Close to Aegean Heights is the temple of Apollo, where the famous snake adorned head of Medusa stands. The sheer size of the columns is truly amazing. For a longer day out you can visit the inspiring ruins of Ephesus, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Or for something completely different take a boat trip to the Greek island of Samos or perhaps enjoy a walk round the nearby, beautiful Bafa lake with its magnificent mountain backdrop.

Wise Move Homes have recently launched Phase 4 on the Apollon Holiday Village on the outskirts of Altinkum offering 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments, together with 2 and 3 bedroom penthouse apartments.
