Cheap Holidays to Altinkum- A Great Place to Relax
Altinkum holidays offer a relaxed holiday resort where the locals are keener to befriend you than they are to jump up and down in excitement as they try to sell you as much as they can. If watersports are your thing you’re in the right place. From windsurfing to sailing – you can do it the Turkish way here.
Altinkum Holidays - Many Attractions
Why not take a Turkish Gulet along the beautiful waters of Altinkum. Don’t dismiss this. Okay, so it’s essentially chartering your own yacht, but in Turkey this proves to be tremendous value. The large, traditional wooden Gulets are a great authentic way to experience the Turkish coast. You might see dolphins, and even be able to dive in and share the waters with them. A once in a lifetime experience and a perfect reason to book your Turkey holidays.
Cheap Altinkum Holidays - Lovely Seafood
Don’t get too attached to any of the smaller more colourful tropical fish you’ll see swarming eagerly round the boat, they’re your dinner. What? Don’t look like that, the Gulet crews can fry them up a treat – you’ll never look at an aquarium in the same way again.
Cheap holidays in Altinkum are available throughout the year.
Altinkum Flights - Plenty of Choice
Many different airlines fly to Turkey from the UK. These include budget airlines such as Easyjet, and more tradititional airlines such as British Airways. Several Turkish airlines also fly this route. We recommend booking early to find the best prices. The flights take around 4 hours, and Turkish time is 2 hours ahead of the UK. There are several international airports in Turkey, and its usually a short transfer to popular resorts.
Flights to Altinkum - Airport Transfers
Altinkum is less than 100km from Bodrum airport, and just under 150km from Izmir International Airport. This means a short drive when you arrive at the airport. We can arrange cheap return coach transfers to your hotel, or you can take your own private taxi when you get there. We can also arrange low cost car hire.
Altinkum is popular with package tourists, but is still small and quiet enough and great for any families with children who want easy beach access. The beaches are certainly the main attraction in Altinkum, and they go from Altinkum’s small harbour, to the cliff at the other end.
The Temple of Apollo at Didyma - Altinkum Attractions
This was an ancient Ionian site of some importance (For Ionian, think ancient Greek architecture, all fluted columns). The earliest level of the temple found so far dates to the end of the 8th century BC, so it’s pretty damn old. There was a natural spring here where the Leto ‘met’ Zeus, they had a kiss (maybe more) and she soon gave birth to the Artemis and Apollo. A home birth too, which is not normally advisable with twins, but excepxions are made for Greek Gods. Apparently. The Temple of Apollo at Didyma is also of Alexander the Great significance. Alexander the Great changed the world thanks to his many conquests, by which we mean battles he won, not dates he went on.
The Roman ruins at Ephesus - Attractions in Altinkum
Ephesus is often referred to as the starting point of western civilization and occidental thinking (occidental thinking means the quest for the most primordial aspects of reality. We don’t know what that means). There’s a lovely modern town to explore here and a wander up the hill to the fort and you’ve got the tomb of St. John the Bapxist, not to mention a stunning view of the coast leading to the Aegean. You can take a pony and cart ride to the back entrance of the Ephesus site itself. Excavations of Ephesus began in 1863 and are still going on.
There’s an excavated two mile route through the Greek and Roman ruins where you follow the original roads. There’re several centuries worth of sites to take in here on your Altinkum holiday. Allow a full day and consider collaring an experienced guide, but if you book an organised tour you might miss out on a few things, such as the House of the Virgin Mary and the Caves of the Seven Sleepers, which has nothing to do with railways.
You can fly direct to
Bodrum airport from the UK in around four hours. Altinkum is about an hour and twenty minutes drive from Bodrum airport . You can get a bus or hire a car yourself. Driving in Turkey is just fine, as long as you have a map and don’t hang around at traffic lights too much. A bit like London then. If you do get a hire car in
Turkey. don’t expect it to have a map in it when you collect it – it won’t! Turkish drivers often beep at you to warn you they are about to overtake. Don’t take this personally.
