The region has many small clean beaches and bays. Akbuk is a much loved region by foreign and local tourists, it is purported to have the highest oxygen ratio and the lowest humidity of Turkey, and is rich in nature and sea. So it is recommended by doctors for people suffering from asthmatic diseases.
Located between hills, forests and clean blue waters of Aegean, Akbuk is quiet and peaceful. More and more people are moving there who prefer tranquillity and relaxed atmosphere. The air, nature and landscape are making Akbuk popular among retired people and families.
No serious construction work is allowed during the tourist season (May to October). No building is allowed to be more than 2½ stories high. High density housing is not allowed. These regulations are strictly enforced by the town Mayor & Council. That’s why you fill find mainly luxury villas for very affordable prices.
The climate here is warm, but being in the bay a gently breeze is refreshing to cool you down especially in the peak summer months. In contrast to Altinkum Akbuk is largely untouched and unspoilt by the tourist industry. I am sure you will agree it is a little piece of heaven.
