We thought you might like some advice regarding this area
 before your holiday .

>>>Sun burn and        protection from        sunburn    

   
  Before you go on vacation please make sure you don't forget your personal   medication. During the summer the sun can be unforgiving here so bring   your sunscreen. The only danger here could be a sunburn that could
  ruin your holiday.  Please don't forget your suncreams and get to know the times of the day when the sun is strongest.  Be sure to protect children from the harmful rays of the sun .

Harmful times of day !!

The sun is strongest between 11:00am to 3:30pm
You should not expose yourselves to direct sun between these times in high season, without suncream protection - especially for children.
 

>>>Weather in this
        area
   
 


If you are unsure of the weather in the area you intend to stay, you should always take something warm for the evenings just in case............
Even in a predominently warm area, the evenings may be windy or the temperature far lower than that during the day and we wouldn't want you to catch a chill.  You should be sure to bring with you any medication you may need.
 

>>>Security and        health services    
 


    We do have local doctors and pharmacies in Akyaka and major hospitals
  in Marmaris and Muğla about 25 minutes in either direction. However, check that your holiday insurance covers you for medical expenses. It is wise to check how to contact your insurers and the services in an emergency.
    
There are two village cilinicc to be found in Gökova bay with emergency facilities. You can find some telephone number of places for hospitals, clinics and other emergency services at the end of this page.

There are security officers who patrol the the village 24 hours a day, usually in pairs [Jandarma] and theft or any other problems in Akyaka are rare events.
 

>>>Bank Problem !!!    
 

   
Despite our attempts, we have been unable to secure the services of a bank or even an ATM machine in Akyaka, which we feel is the only down-side to staying here, as we too, have to go to Mugla or Marmaris to exchange money. Visitors will find that all of the shops, hotels etc have taken this on board and provide a currency exchange of their own.
We try to make it that you will not need to visit a bank at all during your holiday with us.
 

>>>Arrival !!    
 

    
From Europe it is usual to arrive at Dalaman Airport - which is a
45 minute drive from Akyaka. We will collect you from the airport
in our air conditioned
 minibus and return you there after your holiday.

    
From  Akyaka town there is a dolmus service to Muğla every half an
 hour.  It takes just half an hour to arrive to Muğla or Marmaris, but unfortunately, there are only two services to Marmaris daily in the summer season - and in winter there is no minibus to Marmaris from Akyaka.

     There are some Rent-A-Car offices for car rental. However ,
there are a lots of boat tour agent
s and boat for rent to take the "Blue Trip".
