Both the Beach Villas and Club Aegean are on the Aegean Coast of Turkey, the south west region of the country. They are close to Didim in the resort area known as Altinkum, literally translated as ‘Golden Sands’. The region does, therefore, have a popular sandy coastline, with a spectacular mountain backdrop.

The nearest airports are Bodrum to the south, 75 minutes away by road, or Izmir, about one and a half hours north. Both airports are served by regular flights by low-cost and charter airlines from more than 20 airports around the UK.

Didim is a mixture of many cultural influences and its cosmopolitan restaurants and shops make it popular with visitors. Its Saturday street market always draws big crowds, as does a lively nightlife. A range of watersports is also available along the coast.

Summer temperatures can be close to 34° C (93°F), while in winter the climate remains mild, ranging from 18° to 20° C.
