A slow-paced village between pine mountains and a turquoise gulf.
Akyaka sits at the head of the Gulf of Gökova and is a member of the Cittaslow (slow town) movement. Its distinctive wooden houses, with deep balconies and carved eaves, are unlike anywhere else on the coast.
The crystal-clear Azmak river runs through the village to the sea, and steady afternoon winds make the bay a favourite for kitesurfing.
