Didim and Altinkum offer a wide choice of activities for the adventurous visitor, as well as being an ideal location for a quiet relaxing break or for exploring this area of Turkey. In Didim is the historic site of the ancient Temple of Apollo where the Oracle was famous throughout the Aegean region.

The town below the ruins is the busy commercial area, with a choice of large supermarkets for all your needs as well as numerous shops and smaller mini-markets for smaller buys and daily bread - an essential part of any Turkish meal.

There are restaurants and bars for quick snacks or full meals - Turkish pide (pizza) and soups are tasty and filling, and the local beer, ‘Efes’, has some dedicated supporters! You can find modern pattisseries - Turkish baklava is a ‘must try’ if you have a sweet tooth! - and lokum (Turkish delight). And of course there are kebabs to enjoy, and pilaf (rice dishes), vegetarian and fish dishes too...! Shopping at the local market gives you the chance to try your hand at haggling, perhaps over a cup of Turkish or apple chai (tea).

Organised tours are available to various sites including:
Bodrum (ancient Halikarnas) to view the Castle, harbour life and the ancient site of the Mausoleum of Mausolos.
Ephesus (Efes) to visit this ruined city and famous library and amphitheatre, and also the Virgin Mary's house.
Pamukkale to view the site of Hierapolis and the strange rock formations of the Cotton Castle and hot springs.

Tours are also available to Miletos and Priene for yet more historic sites, and the renowned wine producing town of Sirence is another popular trip.
If time allows and you are traveling through Istanbul, a chance to visit the Blue Mosque or the Topkapi Palace is well worth while before arriving in Didim or Altinkum.
