The Resort

• Akyaka has a very traditional atmosphere and is not yet overrun by mass tourism. You will see a lot of pine octagonal houses with hand carved balconies, but the best bit is the number of superb restaurants along the river.
• You will also see many quaint artist's stalls, as well as being able to browse the shops or enjoy the cafes and bars.
• There is a beach 10 minutes walk from the hotel with plenty of sun loungers, and especially clear water.

Trips and Excursions

• River tour - stopping at the beautiful Cinar Beach
• Boat trips - cruise a traditional Turkish wooden sailing boat (gulet) to explore the secluded bays of this stretch of coast. One of the stop off points is Cleopatra's Island and its beautiful sandy beach where she is said to have bathed
• Go off the beaten track to visit a typical mountain village and its extraordinary mosque. Sample homemade bread, see village life and bathe in a mountain spring
• Visit the much busier resort of Marmaris, just half an hour away with a huge range of shops
• Overnight tour to the magical white Cotton Castle of Pamukkale where you can bathe in a hot thermal pool, and then visit the classical site of Ephesus
