Located on the Aegean Sea, Altinkum is a hugely popular hotspot for overseas visitors thanks to its wide range of sandy beaches and ancient ruins on the doorstep. It is so popular, in fact, that thousands of foreigners now live there all year round. Nearby is the ancient Temple of Apollo containing the head of Medusa: either it turned the house hunters all to stone, or the area is so idyllic that they could stay away. Altinkum's booming tourist numbers suggest the latter.
