Akyaka holidays are perfect for relaxation, the long sandy beach of Akyaka is in a sheltered bay with shallow waters, ideal for children. The main appeal of a holiday here is that it allows you to discover authentic Turkey, where a traditional way of life continues here much as it has done for hundreds of years.
Our Akyaka hotels are quite literally surrounded by breathtakingly beautiful scenery, there is something very peaceful about simply enjoying the views, or watching the local fishermen mending their nets and the ducks on the river.
Make time during your holiday to take a boat trip and explore the crystal clear waters and many untouched bays on this beautiful stretch of coast, including the picturesque pebble beach of nearby Cinar. You will find that there are plenty of restaurants on the seafront promenade and a couple of relaxed bars, within easy walking distance of all our Akyaka hotels.
Our featured hotels in Akyaka are built in the traditional 'Mugla' style of architecture, constructed out of pine in a distinctive octagonal shape. The whole of Turkey's Akyaka region is protected against modern-style development, so anything new has to blend in with the old. This policy makes staying in one of Akyaka's hotels a truly unique experience, as it has retained an old world charm rarely seen elsewhere.
Away from the coast, the river Azmak meanders through the verdant countryside of fields and woodlands. To experience the natural beauty of Turkey's Akyaka region at its best, visit one of the traditional fish restaurants set on the river, just outside Akyaka, where trout is served, freshly caught from the river, along with traditional Turkish delicacies, in an idyllic setting. One of our favourite Akyaka hotels, the Ottoman Residence is set right on the river and the Yucelen Hotel & Apartments are an easy walk away.
Holidays in Akyaka are perfect for couples and families alike, whether you just want to relax on the beach, or use your hotel in Akyaka as a base to explore the surrounding area, you are guaranteed a memorable experience.
