Overview
Didim is a budget mass-market resort on Turkey's Southern Aegean coast, the most northerly resort served by Milas-Bodrum Airport. It attracts package tourists from north Europe, but independent travelers come for the ancient Greek ruins of Priene, Miletus and Didyma (the "PMD" circuit) plus the pleasant Altınkum beach.
