Construction of the Marina in Altinkum started in 2006 and is the biggest development in the resort for years. Didim Marina, which is being built by the Dogus Group will have a total capacity of 850 yachts, 550 in the sea and 300 on land . The site covers 140 000 sq m's of land and 173 000 sq m's of sea.

It is widely believed that investing in Altinkum (Didim) will be quite profitable. The Marina will attract big investors to Didim and will turn it into the tourism capital of Aegean. This is the reason more and more British people are buying in this resort. It has always been seen as the poorer relative to the like of Marmaris and Bodrum. But now with its own impressive Marina, plus more besides to offer, Altinkum is an investors dream. Take advantage of the prices as they are at the moment, especially in developments close to the site. And with the marina comes a shopping centre and ferry links to the Greek islands. A proposed golf course will undoubtedly follow shortly. This once quiet, fishing village is growing into a cosmopolitan resort to rival any other in Turkey. Transport Minister Yildirim, who attended the sight recently, said the marina, located between Third Beach and the Parlementerler Sitesi, would become the “undoubted shining star” of the Aegean and the Mediterranean seas.

Never before has it been so easy to buy in Turkey. Turkey is all about fusion. It’s where Europe looks east towards Asia, and where the two places meet. This fabulous land has now revealed its exotic heart and welcomed the many buyers who want to see the country, meet the people, and feel the heat - to find out what all the fuss is about.
