What do you enjoy most in your job with TUI in Turkey?

The coordination in our team and with other suppliers works perfectly. Everyone is friendly and the working atmosphere is great. I also really like the fact that Didim is not as crowded as other cities.

What is special about your destination Didim?

Although Didim is located by the sea, there is no humidity even in the summer months. Didim was an important oracle centre in antiquity and is home of the Temple of Apollo. You can also enjoy the sun, sea and many beaches or you can taste delicious vegan cuisine at our vegan festival, which is held every year for two days.

Which beach would you recommend in Didim?

Altinkum means “golden sand“ and is the most famous beach. Its name derives from the sandy and yellow beaches where you can spend a fun-filled time. There are a lot of beautiful bays and beaches in Didim. You can also visit the close bays by joining one of the daily boat tours.

What local food should visitors try in Didim?

You can usually find dishes with exquisite olive oil which are unique to the Aegean Coast. You should also try local food, including the famous figs and rich sea food such as bream and mullet.

What is the best experience in your region that no visitor should miss?

Visitors should not miss our TUI Collection excursion “Dalyan with Kaunos” which is the most popular activity here. Sail down the Dalyan River and plunge into the natural mud-baths which are great for your skin. After lunch on the riverbank you will head to Iztuzu Beach.

Did you know …

… that the ancient city of Didyma used to be a very important oracle sanctuary belonging to God Apollo during antiquity? The Temple of Apollo is one of the best preserved large buildings from Antiquity.
