| Regional Information |
|
The Aegean coast of Turkey, from Marmaris in the south to the opening of the Dardanelles at Canakkale, offers spectacular natural and man-made wonders and an easy introduction to the fascinating culture of modern Turkey. To make it even better, western Turkey is remarkably inexpensive.
Those coming from the Middle East can cross into Turkey’s southern border from Syria. From Israel, take the bus through Syria or boat to Rhodes, one of several Greek islands-- including Kos, Samos, and Lesbos--that offer access by ferry. Greek Cyprus, however, prohibits direct travel to Turkey.
For the first-time traveler to the region, Bodrum, reached from Kos, is an ideal starting point. Roam the crusaders’ Castle of St. Peter, with its comprehensive underwater archaeology museum, and the tomb of King Mausolus, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
Many Turks speak English and will often approach you to chat. Drivers and passengers alike will do anything to assist you. We have been walked to hotels and helped in innumerable ways over and over again. On our first trip, we learned to trust the kindness of Turks and cross the country free from worry. BUT PLEASE REMEMBER THE TURKS WORK ON A GIFT SYSTEM OR COMMISION DONT FEEL INSULTED OR RIPPED OF ITS THE WAY IT IS HERE
If you have a week, you could add Pamukkale and Ephesus to your itinerary and return to Greece by ferry to Samos. Both Pamukkale and Ephesus are easy to reach on main bus routes. Five hours from Bodrum, Pamukkale’s cascading travertine pools and remarkably preserved Roman baths attract hordes of Turkish tourists. I strongly recommend a side trip to little-visited Roman city of Aphrodisias.
Every traveler to Turkey will want to make the pilgrimage to Ephesus--another half-day bus ride north from Pamukkale--for its magnificent paved streets, well-preserved theater, and Biblical associations. Make your base the genuinely Turkish town of Selcuk, where you can splurge (for a couple of dollars extra) by staying in a hotel overlooking a Roman aqueduct and dining on the scrumptious national cuisine with Turks instead of tourists. Staying in Selcuk also means that you can walk to Ephesus along a shaded path past the lone standing column at the Temple of Artemis.
Follow a string of ancient sights all the way from Bodrum north to Canakkale, at the mouth of the Dardanelles. Take a minibus to Didyma and its huge temple to Apollo, once second only to Delphi. Then travel by minibus or hired taxis along the coast to the isolated, ruined cities of Miletus and Priene. Past Ephesus, make the lovely port of Ayvalik an overnight stay and explore its ruggedly scenic peninsula. From Ayvalik, visit nearby Pergamum. The isolated, magnificent citadel of Troy commands a sweeping view of the coast and evokes the spirit of Homer’s great epic. You can visit Troy as a long side trip from Ayvalik. Or go on to Canakkale for the night and explore the World War I battleground of Gallipoli across the Dardanelles the following day.
To continue your journey, take the six-hour bus ride to Istanbul or return to Ayvalik for the ferry crossing to Lesbos.

| Information specific to the town/village |
|
Didim is shaped as a peninsula surrounding Mugla on the east coast with huge inlet of Akbuk town, Aegean sea on the west and east coast, Lake Bafa and the Menderes River on the northern coast. 106 km's to Aydin provenience, 53 km' to Söke town, 73 km's to Kusadasi, 110 km's to Bodrum. Spread to 300 km2. of area.
People of Yenihisar used to go to Söke for their weekly shopping and Akköy used to be the biggest town of those days. But just after tourism, the place itself have turned into a rapidly growing holiday resort for tourists. the unfertile tobacco fields derived ancient Didyma (meaning twins remarkable at the temple of Apollo Artemisia and Apollo twin sister and brothers) became very dear and poor owners of those fields are now businessmen (most of them) owner of their hotels, restaurants and bars, etc.. The name was changed into "Didim" which is one and only in Turkey including a large area in its borders with the towns and villages leading to it became the town centre.
Today's Didim as rapidly growing holiday resort completely different than what it used to be 10-15 years ago welcoming large population of tourists with its beautiful beaches, ancient towns, culture, climate from all over the world. but comparing to the big tourist resorts like Bodrum, Kusadasi it's not been spoiled we can say. most of the infrastructure work have done by last winter which we expect no more flooding of rain water in Altinkum and better main roads have finished including pedestrian walk paths by the beach

Altinkum
Altinkum is a friendly resort and you will find the locals 'laid back' and relaxed in their attitude towards tourists. You will get to know them quickly and they will enjoy nothing better than chatting over a glass of Turkey's famous apple tea. Don't be surprised if you return year after year to visit your newfound friends!
