Originally a small fishing village which nestles below lush pine forests and mountains, Akbuk is very much an undiscovered gem. It is situated at the far end of Akbuk Bay along the Aegean coast between the well known resorts of Bodrum and Kusadasi.

It is only 15 kilometres from Altinkum resort and 65 kilometres from Bodrum airport. There are regular bus services to both Bodrum and Altinkum. If you are driving, Akbuk is only 40 - 50 minutes drive from Bodrum airport. A new Bodrum to Akbuk motorway is being built which will make the travel time even faster and the journey shorter.

Akbuk has the lowest humidity and the highest oxygen ratio in Turkey providing a thoroughly healthy and therapeutic environment. Akbuk has not in any way been spoilt by commercialism. A unique spot of Turkish Paradise on the Aegean Coast, the delightful little town of Akbuk manages to retain the ‘ Turkish welcome’, that is, one of warmth, friendliness and traditional hospitality.

Akbuk is covered with protected forests and olive trees. Activities you can find in the region include fishing, hunting, tracking, sea sports and much more.

Akbuk has a fish market at the quay side where you can buy your catch of the day (sea bass, sea bream, sword fish etc) from the local fishermen. However, if you happen to be an early bird, it is most satisfying and enjoyable to await the fishermen’s return to the jetty and buy your fish direct.

Every Friday Akbuk has a large market. There are plenty of small shops in the town such as mini markets, fresh fruit and vegetable stalls, butchers, hairdressers, internet cafe and there is one night club called ‘Jokers’.

For those lazy days, the centre of Akbuk offers a number of bars, beach front cafes and restaurants to just sit, relax and chill out in a wonderful climate, agreeably hot and sunny with a gentle breeze.

Whilst understated the town has a subtle buzz about it with a wonderful laid back atmosphere. If you want to relax yet have all amenities close to hand then Akbuk is the right choice for you.

Akbuk Bay is cradled by mountains with protected forests and olive trees rolling down to a vast crystal bay with many sandy coves to explore. Due to the calm waters around Akbuk, the bays in the area are very safe for all the family to enjoy.

Our Villa has spectacular views of Akbuk Bay from the roof terrace to the front and to the back is the forest. You can take a short trip down to the harbour where you can take boat trips to golden sand beaches and coves with plenty of snorkeling opportunities. Alternatively, catch one of the ferries to nearby Altinkum where you can take your pick from of day trips to resorts such as Bodrum, or slightly further afield to Kusadasi or just spend the day shopping.
