Akbuk, originally a small fishing village is very much an undiscovered gem on the Aegean coastline and remains a resort very popular amongst the Turkish people, many of which have holiday villa's there. If you like peace and solitude, then Akbuk is for you. Sun, sea, turquoise coastlines, virgin bays, mountains and lakes provide you with the perfect environment.

From April to October, the Aegean coastline provides an ideal climate offering perfect conditions where you can relax on sandy beaches, visit remarkably preserved historical sites or enjoy the peace of untouched landscapes. You will also be able to experience first hand, the natural warmth, friendliness and traditional hospitality offered by the Turkish people in Akbuk. The area around Akbuk bay is approx. 8km long. The apartment is only 150 metres to the beach, of which is dotted with sandy coves. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, with fantastic views over the Aegean Sea. If shopping is high on your agenda, then Friday in Akbuk is market day. The market is large, with the local farmers selling fresh fruit, vegetables, cheese and yoghurt.

The whole bay along the sea front is lined with trees, and straight ahead of you there are fantastic views of the Bodrum peninsula. Watching the sun-set over the peninsular makes fantastic viewing, especially over a bottle of Turkish Red wine!! To the right you will find Akbuks little harbour where the local fishermen bring in the catches (sea-bream, sea-bass, etc) early morning.

The centre of Akbuk offers a number of bars and restaurants to just sit, relax, and chill out where to enjoy the wonderful sun sets. However, if you feel like something more lively there is a local nightclub named 'Jokers' which is open in peak season only. There is a local bus service that operates along the sea front between the hours of 8am to 10pm offering a regular service every 15 minutes either to:

Akbuk town centre (approx 10 minute journey) or Didim/Altinkum (approx 20 minute journey)
