Once a fishing village, Akbük is just 15 km. from Altinkum on the way to Bodrum airport, and is a place where real Turkish tradition is still a part of daily life. A backdrop of tree-covered mountains and forests which slope down towards the crystal clear waters of the Aegean Sea create a magical setting. Akbük, set within a calm-watered bay is a safe place for all the family to enjoy. There are local restaurants to cater to all tastes, with traditional cuisine on offer, as well as a good selection of fresh fish.

Although quieter than Altinkum, there is nightlife to be had in Akbük, A choice of bars, with traditional live music or dancing available. During the holiday season, there are two nightclubs to choose from where one can dance the night away. The town centre is very self contained, with a sufficient selection of shops for day to day needs, the usual weekly market takes place on Fridays throughout the year. There is a small harbour where the local fishing boats dock after their day at sea and where one can purchase the catch of the day. There are many smaller beaches dotted all around the bay and Akbük is still within touching distance of the main resort of Altinkum, but far enough away to experience Turkey for what it is.
