Advantages: Variety of slides and other activities

Disadvantages: Restaurant prices

I have a home in Altinkum and have therefore visited this aqua park numerous times since its opening. Firstly it is not as good as the Aqua park in Kusadasi which is very similar but with a wider variety of slides. Many agencys in Altinkum offer a trip to the Kusadasi park so if you enjoy the Didim one and fancy something bigger then it is well worth the trip :)

Access to the aqua park from Altinkum is very simple. You just jump on a minibus and you will be there within 20 minutes.

Didim Aqua park has a very friendly atmosphere and all staff are very polite and helpful. Many engage in conversation whilst you are waiting to go down the slide which I find keeps you entertained.

I am not quite sure of the current entry price as I didn't make a trip there this year but I think it is around £15 which is a bargain for a day out. On entering the park you get given a card which you put money on. This is very useful as it saves carrying cash around but also can be annoying having to go all the way back when you need to put more money on.

The swimming pools are very clean and if you have come with family and are not one for the slides, there are plenty of sunbeds available all throughout the day as most people are enjoying themselves either on the slides, in the pools, at the mini foam party or even on the trampolines. The foam party is a hit with everyone in both Kusadasi and Didims aqua park. Foam and water fountains squirt whilst music is played and animators often dance and get you to follow the moves :P which is a great laugh.

There are a variety of slides for both children and adults. My personal favourite being the big yellow slide which is similar to a skate ramp known as a half pipe. You sit in a rubber thing and drop in from one and and shoot up the other spinning around at a speed before you eventually slow down and drop out into the water.

There are plenty of places to eat which are quite expensive compared to normal turkish prices but this is expected as any kind of excursion.

The aqua park is one of didims hot tourist spots along with the apollo temple. It is a great day out so if you do visit Altinkum or are near the area then do go along and enjoy your day :)

Summary: You simply must go
