Are you a beach person? Prefer the hotel pool or like to explore ancient sites and the local area? Well if so a holiday to Altinkum might just be the thing for you...

With beautiful stretches of golden sand beaches and clear waters, easy access to ancient sites including the Temple of Apollo and Ephesus, it is easy to see why the Turkish resort of Altinkum has become a firm favourite with British holidaymakers looking for a all round break. The resort has grown quickly over the years and offers a fantastic base for a seaside holiday in Turkey. Altinkum translates in to Turkish as “Golden Sands”. The resort stretches from a small harbour at one end to a rocky headland at the other end of the bay. There are beautiful beaches that offer over one kilometre of golden sands, where you can laze happily and enjoy soaking up the sun.

Holidays to Altinkum are extremely popular with tourists of all ages and the three sandy beaches called Main Beach, Second Beach and Third Beach, mean you will never be far away from a relaxing spot to get away from it all. Main Beach has plenty of sun loungers and a wide choice of water sports. It is backed by a fabulous promenade that runs all the way along and is lined with shops, stalls, bars and restaurants. Second Beach is a quieter beach that is popular with couples looking to avoid the busier beach and Third Beach is close to the marina. The beaches are perfect for families as they offer gorgeous soft golden sand which is perfect for enjoying the warm sunshine, refreshed by the cool sea breeze, and they slope gently into the Aegean Sea.
