The town's main attraction are its three long sandy beaches, that stretch from the small harbour at one end of a gently shelving bay to a rocky cliff at the other end.
Shopping: Shopping opportunities abound along the front, which is packed with souvenir shops, jewellery stores and boutiques. The main centre is Dolphin Square, and there is a modern shopping complex called the Didyma Shopping Mall. There is a huge market in Didim each Saturday and there is an all night market in Mavisehir every Thursday – excellent for when the weather is very warm. The Dolmus will take you to both. There are three supermarkets on the main boulevard into Altinkum.
Restaurants: Altinkum is bursting with good restaurants serving most forms of international cuisine. On the seafront Turkish and traditional English predominates. Further away from the front there are several restaurants on the main boulevard and in the main Didim square (near the new mosque). These are cheaper too.
