Akbük Beach

Akbük is one of the Aegean's sheltered bays, stretching right beside the Crocus Turizm villas. Protected from the open-sea swell, this gulf stays calm throughout the day and, with its shallow, crystal-clear water, ranks among the most peaceful beaches in the area. It is ideal for those seeking a quieter swim away from the buzz of Altınkum.

What awaits you at the beach

The shore, a mix of fine shingle and sand, continues along a long promenade perfect for walking. The water is so clear that you can spot small shoals of fish while swimming. The bay is safe for families with children and comfortable for inexperienced swimmers.

• Cafes, tea gardens and fish restaurants along the shore
• Day-long boat tours departing from the bay
• Venues where you can rent sunbeds and umbrellas
• A stunning view that turns orange at sunset

When to go

The swimming season runs from late May to mid-October. In summer, the loveliest hours are early morning and late afternoon, when the crowds thin out. An evening stroll along the shore in the cool air is one of Akbük's most beloved rituals.

Staying in Crocus Turizm's seafront villas within walking distance of the beach, you can enjoy the sea whenever you wish, from breakfast to sunset.
