Hello and happy new year all forum members !
My wife and I (we are in our mid 50s) are flying out to Bodrum in mid september for a week holiday.
We have experienced Rhodes and Lindos 3 times and loved it but want to try Turkey with a view to possibly buy a little apartment there.
Unfortunately I am reading that the beaches in Bodrum and its surrounding resorts have shingles. That wont do for us. We want beaches with fine sand. We also would like a nice s/c apartment with a private beach or in alternative an hotel with a private beach or just an apartment next to a beach where one car hire sunbeds and umbrella (not a public beach, with all that comes with it !).

Hiring a car is not a certainty this time so it is important I do not feel disappointed of the resort I would be staying in.
What would you suggest ? Is Altinkum the only place that thicks all the boxes ?


Regards
