Incekum Holidays

If a big part of your holiday revolves around the beach, Incekum’s a top choice. The name of this mini resort actually translates to ‘fine sand’ – so you can expect shores to write home about. Tucked away in a sheltered bay, it’s all golden sand and clear shallow waters. There’s plenty by way of sunbeds and parasols, but it’s not so busy that you’ll have trouble finding them.

While the beach is Incekum’s jewel in the crown, there’s a bit more going on than just sunbathing and sandcastles. If activities are your bag, you’ve got games like beach volleyball on the sand, and watersports like windsurfing and parasailing at sea. Boat trips and treading the coastal paths are also popular things to do.

Away from the town’s sandy showpiece, you’ll find a few distractions. The main road is striped with a pick ‘n’ mix collection of shops, some selling traditional Turkish gifts – like colourful clay pottery and handmade leather. Then there’s the little commercial centre known as Avsallar Village – a hub of bars and restaurants. It’s all pretty slow after dark – unhurried meals and quiet cocktails at sundown are as lively as it gets.
