Altinkum, in the area of Didim, is a small resort on the Aegean Sea in the Mediterranean. The resort is very family friendly with golden beaches and shallow, crystal clear waters. Combine this with the local people who will do anything to accommodate your needs, and Altinkum is the perfect family holiday destination. The Aegean climate, with some 300+ days of sunshine and blue skies, makes this resort an attractive alternative to the likes of Bodrum, Marmaris, Antalya to name but a few. Didim is an up and coming area, having much to offer with its natural beauty and historical sites. Didyma (Didim) in antiquity, the town became an attractive religious site back in antiquity with the famous oracle at the temple of Apollo, favoured by great rulers of the day such as Alexander the Great.
Modern day Didim is becoming a busier tourist resort by day while keeping an authentic, small town feel. Many Turkish people holiday here, thus guaranteeing the traditional Turkish qualities of the resort.
As a result, the town of Didim is open all year round providing a vast choice of restaurants, supermarkets, local shops and markets.
With the new Marina due for completion in July/August, the beauty of the many bays and coves around will become more accessible. This will be the largest on the Aegean and have just under 600 berths along with all the other
Marina facilities. It will also have 5 star hotels, restaurants and shops.
Two golf courses are planned for the area, one of which is due to be started, and a Disney park is approved for the Milas area.
All of this, together with the steadily increasing demand for property and ongoing capital appreciation, make it is easy to see how Didim still has a lot more to offer.
Highland Homes Abroad has chosen this area to build small, exclusive developments to provide our clients with excellent value properties in an up and coming area with something to offer all ages. With the vast amount of investment in the area, the new marina complex and the planned golf courses, there could not be a better time to buy in Altinkum.
A few years ago my boyfriend suggested we go to Turkey for a holiday. I had never been there before and was slightly apprehensive after some friends had given bad reports. However, I duly researched the country and came to the conclusion that there were some beautiful apartments in Turkey that were quite reasonably priced thus making it an affordable holiday at a time when we did not have that much money to spare. I researched several different areas of Turkey and the one that appealed to me most was the Datca peninsula. This place looked idyllic and I set out trying to find accommodation that would match the beauty of the place. Apartments in Turkey can be quite basic and people may be disappointed if they are expecting the height of luxury. However, even though they are often basic, I found that apartments in Turkey generally gave holidaymakers all the facilities they needed for a very pleasant stay indeed. I finally booked a suitable apartment. My boyfriend and I went on holiday and we had the most wonderful time imaginable. I would definitely return again.
It is hard to find someone who doesn`t like to holiday abroad and it is hardly surprising. The weather in foreign countries is nearly always better than British weather and very often continental holiday resorts are totally geared up to the tourist, ensuring that everything they could wish for when on holiday is catered for. There are many holiday resorts all over Europe and each year people from Britain go in their thousands to soak up the sun and forget about their humdrum lives at work for two weeks. Most people when going abroad tend to stay in hotels or apartment complexes where there is usually a large shared swimming pool and entertainment laid on for the guests in the evening. However, more and more in this country, people are tending to buy Holiday Homes Abroad. The advantages of this can be manifold. Firstly, buying Holiday Homes Abroad ensures that you always return to the same place and can get to know both the property and the environment very well indeed. Secondly, Holiday Homes Abroad can be let out in the months when you cannot stay in them thereby making the owner money as well as giving them the pleasure of owning their own place in the sun.
Turkey is a country that has risen sharply in terms of attractiveness to holiday makers in this country. The reason for this is the outstanding weather in the summer months and it is also relatively inexpensive to eat and drink compared to other European destinations. Therefore there are many people who have bought Turkish Properties to enable them to have a permanent home for their holidays. Turkish Properties are realistically affordable and with low cost airlines flying to more and more destinations abroad, getting there is also easily achievable. Turkish Properties can also these days be very luxurious, many of them having their own swimming pools and balconies and terraces. Also, there are lots of complexes being built in Turkey containing all the facilities that one would expect from a holiday resort such as golf, tennis etc and lots of evening entertainment such as bars and restaurants. The food in Turkey is cheap and delicious and so buying a home in Turkey is unsurprisingly an option that is appealing to many people in today`s climate.
