Akyaka Holidays – Undiscovered gem in South-Western Turkey
If you are looking to take a break from the stressful city life in a peaceful and authentic rural environment then the village of Akyaka is the right place for you. This gorgeous little village lies beneath the mountain of Sakartepe and borders on the Gulf of Gokova on the other side. The mountain provides a cooler hideaway on a hot sunny day whilst on the beach you can enjoy the calm, warm breeze from the sea. Although getting discovered by the ‘city’ people from Ankara, Istanbul and other large Turkish cities, and these being joined by quite a few European visitors, the village has to date not undergone any major development, therefore is set to preserve its wonderful rustic charm.
Last Minute Holidays in Akyaka – One of the prettiest villages on Turkish Turquoise Coast
