Things to do in Didim

Set on Turkey’s Aegean coast, Didim teams pristine sandy beaches with crumbling ancient sites. In fact, this place is known as the “Gateway to the Land of Oracles” thanks to the number of must-sees it opens up.

Visit the unfinished Temple of Apollo in Didyma, the ancient city from which the town gets its name. Three huge columns now stand from what was originally a cluster of 120. Step inside, meanwhile, and you can still make out the altar where sacrifices to Apollo were once made.

Tread the age-old streets of Bodrum. The town is home to an ancient amphitheatre, 18th century windmills and the Castle of St Peter, one of the best-preserved monuments of the Medieval world.

Laze the day away on one of Altinkum’s Blue Flag beaches. They notch up more than a kilometre of golden sand between them, so you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to deciding where to lay your towel.
