A big increase in investment in Akbuk and Didim is expected with confirmation that land has been allocated for two 18-hole golf courses and supporting facilities in the area.
The locations of the courses have been chosen and first-level analysis done of the areas. One site is north of the Didim-Akbuk road, quite far inland as you approach the 5-star Akbuk Caprice Hotel. The other is on the seafront just across a small bay from Yesilkent, at Mercimek, an area visitors to Altinkum may have visited on a boat trip.
While investors have yet to be found for the courses, there are rumours that a big Spanish golf resort company is interested in at least one of the locations, and this is hardly surprising with such a large and rapidly-growing expat community, not to mention the coming marina at Didim with its influx of high-end tourism.
