Second Beach Apartment (apartment)

Home description

Second Beach Apartment is a two bedroom apartment, located in Altinkum's resort centre, close to bars, restaurants and beaches. The apartment is fully air conditioned thus cool in summer and warm in winter. There is a fully equipped kitchen. The bedrooms are large enough to comfortable accommodate travel cots should they be required (available to rent at an extra cost)

The local bus (called a dolmus) runs past the apartment every few minutes and will take you to the old town of Didim, the fantastic weekly bazaar, the Ancient Greek temple of Apollon or to the sleepy village of Yesilkent with its own quiet sandy secluded beaches - all for pennies.

Many of our renters do not go anywhere other than the immediate facility as there is so much to do on the doorstep of the apartment. For those that are more adventurous there are water sports in Altinkum and jeep safaris and there are plenty of travel agencies where visitors can make bookings for day trips and short breaks within Turkey,

The Aegean Coast region

The Aegean region of Turkey is a mixture of modern and traditional lifestyle. There are large modern cities such as Izmir and Aydin through to small old fashioned villages. A large proportion of the land is for farming so the area remains undamaged by industry.

The regions climate is superb - warm and pleasant for most of the year, but it also has a high oxygen ratio and low humidity rate, making it very advantageous to one’s health. Turkish doctors often refer patients with chest conditions to come to Didim for convalescence. Asthma sufferers and those with bronchitis will feel the benefits almost immediately.

Altinkum itself benefits from a continual light breeze, making even the warmest of hot summer days feel quite pleasant. Most of the resort faces south for maximum sunshine and here in Altinkum we experience more than 330 days of sunshine every year.

Within a short drive of Altinkum Didim, there is a wide range of places to see. All are accessible by car or by booking with a local tour operator.

New for 2009, Izmir's wildlife park has opened. The fantastic parklands home one of the widest collections of wild animals in Europe. Izmir is a 2 hour drive from Altinkum, Didim.

In Kusadasi, (less than an hour's drive) Europe's largest water park (and the 7th largest in the world) is open (Adaland) where one can swim with dolphins if splashing around and trying out the daring water shoots isnt enough fun for one day. Didim also has its own excellent water park which is accessible by local bus (dolmus). Kusadasi houses some of the countries finest luxury shops, for those with plenty of spending money or for those who like to window shop!

Bodrum is well worth a visit and can be reached by road or via a boat trip along the coast. Bodrum is a picturesque seaside resort with its own marina, castle and beaches.
