Didim Marina Plans Revealed!

It seems most appropriate to start this, the first issue of Didim Dizayns, with among the biggest news to hit Didim in the past years: the plans for Didim's long-awaited marina!
The design for the 623-berth yacht marina, which includes a heliport, customs and special shopping centre, will cost $50 million and covers 287,000 m2.

The site lies between Third Beach and Parlementerler, to the west of Altinkum and the marina, named Didim D-Marina, will be the largest in the Southern Aegean, including Bodrum's 450-berth site.

Construction is being carried out by Dogus Holdings, one of the biggest organisations in Turkey, who will also have a 25 year operating lease. Dogus also has interests in Volkswagen, Hyatt Regency and Porsche, and also built the marina at Turkey's luxury resort of Turgutreis. The website for this gives an excellent idea of what we can expect from Didim: http://www.dogusmarina.com.tr/index.html

Didim D-Marina signifies a new lease of life for the already buoyant Didim region, as it will open up the area to a whole new tourism market of yacht owners, gulet cruises, and tour boats as well as winter boatbuilding and drydock services.
