About Akbuk
Akbuk is a traditional Turkish town, nestled on the edge of a vast crystal clear bay and completely surrounded by pine forest. The resort is a protected region and strictly enforced planning regulations are imposed to preserve the natural beauty of the area from over development.
Situated within the Didim region of Turkey, which is a government designated "Tourism Development Area", Akbuk’s current popularity with foreign investors has earned it the accolade of becoming “the Rising Star of the Aegean Coast”.
The development plans for the Didim region in 2008 include the construction of:
- Golf course in Akbuk
- Turkey’s largest marina in Altinkum
- 7 star holiday village in the nearby village of Bozbuk
- New Bodrum airport road
