This picturesque resort is one of the hidden gems of Turkey, located on the south west coast of the Aegean. The lively resort of Altinkum is approximately 19km from Akbük, Kusadasi 65km and Bodrum 70km. Akbük is the quieter alternative to the busier holiday resorts and is still relatively unrecognised throughout the tourist industry.

The perfect location set around a beautiful bay surrounded by protected forests and olive groves. Akbük became a township in 1991 and is developing according to plan, future developments include a golf course and a direct road leading to Bodrum airport. Most of the infrastructure is now complete including new roads, clean beaches and pedestrian walkways.

No major construction work is allowed between the months of May - October, and no buildings are to be built any higher than 2½ stories. These regulations are strictly enforced by the town Mayor and local council. Akbük is also said to have the highest oxygen ratio and lowest humidity rate in Turkey. This would make Akbük the perfect location for buying property for people suffering from health problems such as asthma.

Akbük is an up and coming resort with something to suit everyone. The sea and mountain views surrounding Akbük are breathtaking and the sea breezes and soft sandy beaches are perfect for a hot summer’s day.

Combined with the local cuisine available and the never failing hospitality from the locals, Akbük will leave a lasting impression on those who visit.
