Altinkum Didim Yacht Marina
The layout of Didim D-Marina, which is scheduled to be open in summer 2009, reveals for the first time the extent of a new hub of life on the 70 acre site. The marina will have a yacht club, heliport for the rich and famous to land helicopters direct on the site, a capacity for 623 berthed yachts and 600 yachts in dry dock, a yacht lift for 300 and 100 tonnes, and a swimming pool.
The marina will serve mainly yachts of 75 – 150 metres long, such as mega-yachts which are increasingly in popularity on the Aegean and east Mediterranean seaboard.
There will be also a shopping centre, supermarkets, yacht equipment shops, a fitness centre and sports facilities, banks, a petrol station, restaurants and a cultural centre.
The marina will also crucially have ferryboat management for cruises to the Greek islands of Kalimnos, Kos and Leros, as well a customs post, pot authority facilities, a passport control unit.
Didim D-Marina is being built on a build-operate-transfer for 25 years by Dogus Group, one of Turkey’s leading construction companies.
The 52 million dollar project will be the key to providing a 12-month tourism economy for Altinkum and the rest of the resort.
Yachtsmen will be keen to use the marina as it is on the Cesme, Kusadasi, Bodrum, Datca and Marmaris routes, while ferry boats from the Greek islands of Kos, Samos, Kalimnos, Leros and Patmos would be an added draw.
