Altinkum Beach

3 beaches to choose from in main Altinkum
Central beach 2nd beach mainly sandy but some parts do have shingle to get into the sea.
Vey busy in August. Some scramble to get on the beach at 0700 but I went to the beach at 1500 hours and got front row sunloungers every day. 2 chairs & parasol just 45 Turkish Lira approx £2 I expect it would be far quieter September - June.

Just returned from a 2 week stay in Altinkum, our first (and last) time of visiting this area. Having travelled extensively around Türkiye, we looked forward to our visit.
We visited the Apollo Temple, which we enjoyed but were puzzled that the local dolmus drops you around half a mile away and you the have to walk, also there is no clear signage to say where it is.
Mavisier market was a nice experience and the to walk down to the waterfront for a cool drink is a nice thing to do.
I wouldn’t recommend any of the boat trips, you don’t actually go anywhere. (Marmaris trips stop at Turunc and the 1 at Olu Deniz takes you to Butterfly Valley)
Now for the golden beach after which Altinkum is named. Just one big dirty ashtray. Disgusting!

Beach is busy and large and has water sports and boat trips.
Book with locals and not through operators as more expensive.
Beautiful views and comes alive after 17:00.
Recommend Topkapi restaurant good value and service.
Lots of shops for clothing , trainers etc all shops sell imitatons and seemed good copy’s too be fair.
Felt safe and comfortable walking about as policing seemed regular, not that there was anything to worry about as very friendly people.

Clean beach with great facilities, changing cubicles, showers and toilets. There are loads of sun beds and parasols to hire. Water is shallow quite far out and great for those not so confident in the water. Water is clear and warm and great fun. Can’t wait to go back again

Lovely Altinkum beach. Always very clean and well looked after. Plenty of nice restaurants and bars along the beach front, with a wide range of choice & price. Has a couple of toilet blocks on the beach now and is close to shopping area.

Water is crystal clear. Lots of shops surrounding it. Super clean and Sandy. Quite a long stretch of beach and seems well looked after. Few stray dogs around but are super friendly and seem to be looked after by locals.

My now husband and myself decided we wanted to get married abroad with the sunshine. We both had our hearts set on the destination where we wanted to marry as we had previously visited a few times before hand. We went to all travel agents and unfortunately none of them provided wedding packages for Altinkum. We then took it upon ourselves to search the internet for private wedding coordinators who work in Altinkum. We really did strike gold when we came across Platinum Weddings website. We did most of the organising by email and the rest by telephone. They were able to accommodate anything we wanted for our special day and understood exactly the way we wanted it. We did have our worries; after all we hadn’t met any of the team face to face (who wouldn’t). Finally the day came to meet the team the first day of arriving in Turkey and we couldn’t praise them enough for how comfortable they made us in their presence. They took my husband and I for all the paperwork, medicals etc, we didn’t have to worry about anything they had everything covered. Showed us the venues for our big day and if we didn’t think they were suitable were willing to look for something else instead. They even met with all the family to go through the day with them. Finally the day came for us to finally tie the knot and we cannot describe in words how wonderful everything was. The guests were took in separate cars, brought all the flowers to us so everyone had them. We had a beach wedding and the venue was so beautiful it went further then anyone’s expectations it was fabulously decorated it was truly amazing. They even had our colour theme matched perfectly. They had a red carpet laid on the sand and my ‘walking down the aisle’ song playing out towards the ocean. The ceremony exceeded all our wishes it really did. The venue for after the ceremony was decorated just as beautiful as the beach the guys really outdone themselves it was more then we could have asked for. They also took us to two destinations for our pictures to be professionally taken one at the Apollon Temple and the other was on the beach for the sunset. Our full day was recorded by video also and it’s a great treasure to be able to watch it back as well as look at the pictures to remember our special day. The full team are focused on what you desire and will do anything to achieve your happiness. For the service they provided and what they achieved would have cost four times the amount in the UK then it did with Platinum Weddings. We couldn’t thank them enough for what they did to make our day so special and we organised it all without meeting them. There is nothing these guys can’t or won’t do for you. We are so glad we came across Platinum Weddings and we will be forever grateful to the team for making our special day that little bit more special.

If you want to sit at the side of a street and pay as much for food and drink on the front it's the place to go . Be warned behind that Cheshire cheese grin .

Having been to Altinkum Turkey on holiday for the last seven years and been on numerous boat trips. I recommend the Siesta Boat as being the best one I have been on, Lovely clean boat owners and staff are very friendly and helpful great relaxing trip will go back again and again plus the food is great !!!!

Lovely sandy beach with turquoise waters. Lots of restaurants and bars along promenade. Quite a few of the stray dogs around but I was told they are all treated- not sure if that’s true or not?
