Home description
Apollo Village Apartment is located in a luxurious complex right in the heart of town - a green oasis with large swimming pool and relaxing atmosphere. It's situated only a few minutes' walk from the town centre and main thoroughfare and is well-attended by buses running throughout the resort.
The main beach is accessible on foot but by local bus is just a 5 minute journey - or instead you can stay by the complex' large swimming pool and children's pool and take advantage of the on-site facilities.

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 FACILITIES Altinkum resort is home to several five-star hotels, all with luxurious facilities that are open to the public. A giant yacht marina is currently under construction close to one of Altinkum's main beaches, and will open in Summer 2009, followed by a golf course nearby. Hydrofoils run two times a week from Altinkum Harbour to the Greek island of Kos, allowing you to build a day out in Greece into your holiday plans! A ferry also runs from Altinkum to Bodrum throughout the summer months.
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 sun beds, beanbags, table service and funky music - water sports, 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!).
