The road from Almaty is perfect now.
We visited Akshi last year, in this village of Koktuma.
The infrastructure is normal.
Almost everything can be found in the store.
The coolest thing is the water. Salty, transparent, medicinal.
I advise you to visit it at least once. 3 full days will be enough.
In Koktum there is a very good beach, the stone sand is fine, there are also mineral springs, constantly clean water, trees all around, greenery where you can sit and relax.
The lake is a natural wealth, but it needs care, the beaches are not cleaned, well, at least most vacationers are conscious people, they take their garbage with them, but otherwise everything is fine.
Zhetysu earth heaven. The nature is very amazing. You can't get enough of the eyes if you look at the waves of Alakol. The air is very cool. What a beautiful sight at koktuma station. One side is Alakol. One side is a mountain.
Oz.Alakol is the Pearl of Kazakhstan! This is a treasure trove of health and a great vacation! This is a clean ecological place, the water in Alakol contains a lot of trace elements necessary for our body! I recommend you to relax here!
