The Apollonium Spa & Beach Resort offers a wide range of activities and facilities, which includes the ultra chic Byblos Beach Club & Spa* with its chill- out zone and traditional Turkish hamam (baths).

The fabulous beach is just a few short steps away and the Beach Club is the place to stretch out on a sun lounger and be waiter served with long cool drinks and delicious snacks, while you appreciate the resort’s breathtakingly beautiful surroundings.

At Apollonium you have a choice of eating options, aside from self-catering - taking advantage of the abundant locally grown vegetables and freshly-caught fish, with an on site supermarket for all your essentials. Turkish and international food is served at the Byblos Restaurant, and there are snack bar outlets and a BBQ area.

When ready to expend some energy, there’s a long list of sporting and leisure options with swimming pools (including a heated indoor pool), water slides, a sauna, mini golf, tennis court, other water and outdoor sports plus a live entertainments programme and disco.

Back at the Beach Club, you might like to treat yourself to some pampering treatments and massages at the Spa, even a traditional Turkish rub down! You should also put aside some time for exploring the surrounding countryside, with its lushly pine-forested mountains and ancient olive groves.

A holiday at Apollonium will appeal to sun worshippers, sporty types, nature lovers, those fascinated by Turkey’s history and archaeology with its magnificently preserved ruins, photographers and artists. And while perfect for laid-back and romantic holidays, the village-style resort's centre is also ideal for families and there are organised excursions available*. A regular water boat taxi connects to Didim, where a local market takes place on Saturdays.

Away from the resort, nearby Akbuk has a pleasing choice of restaurants catering for European tastes, and others serving authentic Turkish food. Evenings are best enjoyed with a pre-dinner stroll along the promenade to appreciate the beautiful views, including spectacular sunsets; those seeking a livelier nightlife might head for Dolphin Square in Altinkum.

* Some services only available during the main season, May to October inclusive.
