ABOUT AKBUK

Akbuk Town

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.

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. 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.

Sights & Things to do in Akbuk

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 which is only a five minute walk from the villa. 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 – the perfect place to escape the rigours of life back home. (in tranquil surroundings?)

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

Akbuk Bay

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.
