Akbuk is situated on the western Aegean coast of Turkey. The town is only 50 min's from Kusadasi, 45mins from Bodrum Airport and 1hr 20mins from Izmir. It became a township in 1991 and lies between Bodrum and Didim, and is ideally located for access to the historical sites in the area like the Temple of Apollo, Ephesus and The Temple of Artemis as well as the great natural site at Pamukkale. Akbuk is an ideal location for your new property in Turkey and attracts investors looking for that perfect holiday home investment opportunity. Just recently it was announced that planning has been agreed for two new golf courses in the area, both within 10/15 min's drive from Akbuk, a new 400 bedroom hotel, a cinema complex and Easyjet has just announced a new route from Gatwick to Bodrum starting in April 2009.

It boasts beautiful breathtaking views over the crystal clear water of the Aegean Sea and to the Bodrum Peninsula. The area is also covered with protected forests and olive trees, with the background scenery being immensely lush and green due to the tree covered mountains that cradle the Village and Bay. The beach is dotted with sandy coves and together with the clear calm waters is ideal for bathing. The climate is warm, but being in the bay a gentle breeze is a refreshing and ideal feature especially in the peak summer months.

The town has its own beaches, bars, restaurants and supermarkets which are on a smaller scale than the very busy resort of Altinkum, yet this is just 15 min's away by car or bus if you fancy a night out in it's lively restaurants, bars and clubs. There are three markets each week in different locations which keep Akbuk very traditional compared with other Turkish resorts. Akbuk has a preservation and a building order by the ministry on its lands to preserve its natural beauty and scenery. You can only build on 15% of the land with a maximum of three storeys making this a very pleasant area for a Turkish holiday home or residential property. Akbuk has the 5 star Caprice Palace Hotel and the 4 star Holiday Resort Hotel, leisure, shopping and health facilities yet it is still far from the crowds of the big city.
