Altinkum has been a special Turkish holiday resort for many years. Today its growing popularity and fast developing infrastructure makes it one of the most sought after places to stay in Turkey. Renowned for its sandy beaches, there is actually an unknown quality in the Altinkum air that draws visitors back year on year – often several times a year. Many people have taken advantage of the reasonable property prices, investing in holiday and second homes. There is now a small but growing community of British residents making their lives in this tiny corner of Turkey.
Yet Altinkum also remains a fundamentally Turkish resort. The long sweeping promenade comes alive every night with live Turkish music, theatrical ice cream vendors, belly and break dancers. Large family parties spanning generations stroll up and down the main promenade, adding to the sights, sounds and smells of this bustling sea front resort.
