Didim Today

Altinkum isn't just about lazing in the sunshine, as there is plenty to do during both the day and evening. Even if history was never your thing at school you can't ignore the ancient world when you stay here as Altinkum is close to many fascinating ancient sites where you can almost feel the past.

Nearby is the small resort of Didim with the Temple of Apollo where the famous snake-adorned head of Medusa stands, and the sheer size of the columns is truly amazing. For a longer day-out visit the inspiring ruins of Ephesus, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Or for something completely different you could take a boat trip to the Greek island of Samos, or perhaps enjoy a walk around the nearby beautiful Bafa Lake with its magnificent mountain backdrop.
