Welcome to Altinkum.

Whether you're planning your first visit or you come here every year - or even live here - there is always something new going on in Altinkum. Live concerts on Altinkum beach (like the one in July by Turkey’s Eurovision entry, Kenan Dogulu), or a new bar or restaurant that’s opened up (like the Crown Inn close to Dolphin Square).

That’s why we’ve put together this handy guide to help you make the most of your holiday in the sun, however long or short!

The guide also includes tips for safe sunning, essential information like using the local buses and where to find the nearest chemist, and a basic map to help you find your way around (more detailed maps are available by order).

We hope you find it useful, and if you have any feedback on what  we can do to improve it, or any questions we haven’t covered here, we’d love to hear what you have to say. You are welcome to post suggestions in our Guest Book, or if you want to keep them private, use the Contact Us page instead.
