VILLAGE WINES
Without any chemical supply or sulfuration this wine has been produced by 3 or 4 local families in Akköy out of the grapes Sultaniye and Osmanca. Traditionally the grapes were not getting pressed in press known from Europe for example; instead they were pressing the grapes in special classical grape-ships made out of wood.

You can choose between three different whites, one dessert, dry and with generous flavour, reassembling to a Portwine, one with pure fruit and crisp with a light bouquet and of course the traditional Akköy Wine, which with his golden colour and its muscular taste seems to assume almost a cognac aroma. With a volume with 14-16 percent we produced ecological harmonic wines. The class of the grapes didn't belong to the classe supérieure, for us it was important to follow the tradition of our village of Akköy and producing wine out of the local grapes of our domain and having finally an authentic wine.

Altınkum or “golden sands” is a resort town in western Turkey, 123 km from Aydın. It is on the Aegean Sea, nearby the ancient Temple of Apollo and the ruins of the Ionian city of Didyma (Didim).

Altınkum or Skrophes Bay or Karakuyu is a popular resort and a an excellent place to leave the yacht for a visit to Didyma. Anchor in the NW corner in 3 - 4 m on sand. Good holding and shelter from the meltemi. The shore lies to the south, it provides sheltering from northerlies. The bottom is sand and relatively clear. Westerly blowing winds are predominant. Breeze usually blows between west and northwest.

Caution :Care is needed for the sea-level reefs running out about 400 meters from the pier on the west.

Do not approach directy to the pier on the west. Take route towards the middle, leave the reefs on your port side then alter your course to the port. Custom building stands behind the pier. This pier is for tripper boats, it gets very crowded especially in summer.

We suggest boats either to go to D-Marin or drop anchor in front of the beach and swing. Nights are noisy especially in summer because of holiday makers. Water gets cold in some parts, there are underground water sources and circulations.

HISTORICAL SITES

Ancient Didyma
The Hellenistic Ionic temple of Apollo at Didyma is very large, impressive, and in good preservation. Here was an oracle of Apollo, the most renowned in antiquity after the oracle of Delphi. A must see site. The famous Apollon Temple at Didyma is worth visiting. All provisions can be found in the town.

Altınkum and Didim (previously Didyma or Yenihisar) is surrounded by a number of ancient sites, most notably, the Apollo Temple, located on the outskirts of Didim. The main temple was built in the 8th century B.C., was surrounded by columns at the beginning of the 6th century B.C. and completed around 550 B.C.

According to some sources, "Didyma" translates as "twin". It refers to the twin God and Goddess, Apollo and Artemis, who were born here. Didyma was originally home to a pre-Greek religious group of nomads that grew up around a sacred wood and holy spring. This natural spring was the place where Leto conceived and gave birth to the twins Artemis and Apollo who were fathered by Zeus.

The town of Didim takes its name from the ancient site of Didyma. Never actually a city, Didyma is a very impressive archaeological site all the same and was used for pilgrimages and religious worship by the Ionions who built most of the structures in the 11th century BC. The history of the place goes back even further than that though because it’s believed there has been a shrine at this site for hundreds of years before the Ionions came.

This Temple of Apollo, who the Ionions were worshipping, is still impressive and large despite having crumbled due to earthquakes. As you enter the site, look out for the fallen head of Medusa that’s become the unofficial symbol and mascot of Didyma.

Miletus and Priene
Only a short distance from the beaches of Altinkum you’ll come across two more ancient archaeological sites, Miletus and Priene, both of which have something a little different to offer to the other. These are within a short drive of Didim and Altınkum.

Ephesus
Of course the prize archaeological site in this part of Turkey is the ancient city of Ephesus. If you’re thinking you’ve seen one ancient city so all others will be the same - think again. From the towering façade of the Library, to the immense amphitheatre, and its long city streets, Ephesus is well worth a visit.

Saplı Island that is streching like a bridge between its body and the shore is a distinct beauty of nature.

Hippedamos which belongs to BC 6th century on Saplı Island was destroyed later time. Despite the fact that the city walls around the settlement were destroyed by the sea, it is possible to see the ruins of the walls in some places.

Actually Saplı Island is a peninsula. There is a sea road in the sea for a vehicle to pass out easily. It is possible to pass out to the island by foot on the ebb tide and when the sea rises the land and island can be disconnected.

The island is similar to a coffee pot when viewed from above and is a perfect option for excellent beaches. The island is not only a piece of land but also like a balcony that is juttin into the sea. With the smells of the sea and the land in spring, it is becoming a privillage tolive in Akbük.
