*** Akbuk is a traditional Turkish village backed by protected pine forests and green mountains, infamous for its sunsets and is within a crystal clear bay with shallow water so bathing in the sea is very safe. The apartment is only a 5 minute stroll from the beach, harbour (with fishing and pleasure boats) and social heart of the village where all the main restaurants and bars are located in Akbuk. The resort is very popular with Turkish holiday makers during the high season giving it a real Turkish vibrancy. Outside of the peak summer months of July and August the village is more tranquil when relaxation is the order of the day.  
 
This stunning property is also very close to the dolmus (bus) park which has a bus service into the lively resort of Altinkum, a popular holiday resort apx 15 minutes from Akbuk with stunning beaches, many shops and a main seafront promenade offering countless Turkish and English run bars and restaurants 
 
There are a wide variety of activities available around Akbuk which include walking, cycling, Jeep safari. Trips including the water park, Apollo temple in nearby Didim, Bafa lake, scuba diving, and a large number of boat trips both from Akbuk and Altinkum (over to the Greek Island of Kos). There are organised day trips from Altinkum for those who do not wish to drive to a large majority of the above mentioned locations including Bodrum and Kusadasi, as well as a number of archaeological and other sites including Ephesus and Pumakkalae. All activities can be booked locally and you can be picked up from the apartment or explore yourself by the local dolmus which is extremely cheap.  
 
The property is ideally suited to those wanting sun, sea and sand, whilst being within easy reach of various other lively resorts such as Altinkum, Bodrum and Kusadasi, as well as places of natural and historical interest, such as the Apollo temple and Bafa Lake (bird watching).
