Apartments suitable for guests with or without a disability.

Do you need a holiday in the sun but cannot find accommodation that is wheelchair friendly? Disabled Destination Abroad may be able to help.

This website is dedicated to the disabled traveller who finds it difficult to find wheelchair fully accessible accommodation. Disabled Destination Abroad offer accommodation in the resort of Altinkum, situated on the Aegean coast of Turkey. This accommodation has been specially designed with the disabled traveller in mind.

Holiday-makers will find the sun, sea and mountains of Turkey a complete pleasure, and the lakes offer a relaxing and enjoyable change from the hum-drum of everyday life. The Turkish climate (from April to October) is ideal for either relaxing on the many sandy beaches, or exploring the tranquil settings of the mountains and lakes. Turkey also has a glorious past, and throughout the whole country holiday-makers can explore much of Turkey's historical heritage.
