Things to do in Altinkum

You have booked your holiday, live in Didim, Altinkum or even the surrounding areas like Akbuk, so what is there for you to do?
Turkish Baths:
A Turkish bath is one of the most relaxing things that you can go and do whilst in Turkey. Starting with a lovely hot sauna get rid of all that dead skin and relax, head shampoo, oil massage are just a few of the thing on offer. For the gents, if the Turkish Baths don’t float your boat, go have a Turkish Shave and sit in a massage chair while you have the best shave ever (try not to fall asleep).
Jeep Safari:
Caution, if you don’t mind getting wet, dirty, having the wind whistling in your hair and having a great time then this is a must. Drive off road and through some fantastic countryside see some spectacular beaches and stop at some great restaurants - a great day out for the whole family.
Boat trips:
There are many boat trips around Altinkum, all different in their own way. Swim in the warm open sea, visit some fantastic bays, enjoy local food and the crew make sure you have the most enjoyable trip, a full day out at a very good price for all the family.
Fishing Trips:
Try your hand at fishing - take a boat trip from the harbour. Half day or full day, night fishing is also available or fish off the harbour or local bays, fishing rods are very cheap or try and use the hand lines like the locals.
Scuba Diving:
Scuba Diving is available with fully trained PADI registered divers. Open water and other courses are available and are around half the price you would pay in the UK.
