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 Akbuk, Kusadasi
65km and Bodrum 70km. Akbük is the quieter alternative to the
busier holiday resorts and is still relatively unrecognized
throughout the tourist industry. The perfect location set
around a beautiful bay surrounded by protected forests and
olive groves. Akbuk 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 2 ½ storeys. These
regulations are strictly enforced by the town Mayor and local
council. Akbuk is also said to have the highest oxygen ratio
and lowest humidity rate in Turkey. This would make Akbuk the
perfect location for buying property for people suffering from
health problems such as asthma. Akbuk is an up and coming
resort with something to suit everyone. The sea and mountain
views surrounding Akbuk 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, Akbuk will leave a
lasting impression on those who visit. |
