Home description

Inside you can find everything you might need if you can't tear yourself away for long enough to get down to the beach - the lounge boasts a flatscreen TV, satellite system with English channels, DVD player, CD, and Playstation.

The Aegean Coast region
WEATHER The Aegean Region is known for its balmy climate. Guaranteed sun and "beach weather" for at least 6 months of the year, temperatures climb from 25c in May up to 40c and sometimes more in July and August. The air is dry and clean, making the heat manageable and positively beneficial for many - especially people with breathing and joint disorders.
HISTORY Trying to summarise the history of the area is a difficult job - written records of civilisations, heroes, kings and saints go back thousands of years, testified to by the large numbers of ancient temples and towns that can be found all over the region.
SURROUNDINGS The landscape is also remarkable - the original meandering river, the River Meander, has slowly silted up over thousands of years, leaving the mountains to the north and west surrounded by huge flat plains that are home to many different types of wildlife and several national parks. The area is famous for its beaches and many have been awarded "Blue Flags" - the internationally recognised clean beaches award.
LOCAL ACTIVITIES The main resort of Altinkum is very well equipped for holidaymakers, with a wealth of activities and sights to see during your stay. Children will love the kilometres of sandy beach and clean, shallow turquoise sea, Didim Aqua Park and the hosts of family cafes with free computer games for kids and special children's menus. The young and young at heart will love the beach clubs - jetties with sunbeds, beanbags, table service and funky music - watersports, and all the bars and discos along the beachfront. Culture fans will love visiting the local villages and markets and seeing traditional foods and crafts being prepared and sold, and the astonishing selection of ancient monuments, temples and cities within a 2 hour radius (the nearest is actually inside the resort!).

How to get there
GENERAL LOCATION Located in Altinkum, a popular seaside resort on the Turkish Aegean Coast. Flights from the UK run throughout the year to Bodrum and Izmir Airports. Bodrum Airport is 1 hour away by road and Izmir Airport is 1 hour and 45 minutes. The nearest customs office is at Altinkum and as of July 2008 there is a ferry service running between Altinkum and Kos throughout the summer. Ferries also operate into Izmir port from Brindisi in Italy, which is a popular option for people travelling to Turkey through Europe by car. It is also possible to enter Turkey via the Greek and Bulgarian borders north of Istanbul, close to Edirne.
VISAS Tourists must obtain a visa on arrival in Turkey and there is a charge of £10 per UK passport for a 90-day multiple entry tourist visa, which will be issued to you before passport control at your point of entry. Other nationalities can check with their local consulate for prices and regulations.
CAR HIRE Car hire can be arranged on request or details provided - typical local rental from £20 per day.
AIRPORT TRANSFERS Airport transfers can be organised from £10 per person from Bodrum or £40 per party of 1-4 from Izmir. Private airport transfers are also available, price on request.
