Recently built, this is a villa like property on 2 floors with 2 of the 3 bedrooms overlooking sea, and Greek islands. You can hear the waves at night! This property is semi detached yet highly exclusive. Known as a 'Cardea' duplex, this has a very high satisfaction rating - Guest feedback has always been way above expectations. Lovely homely feel, and whole peninsula has good holiday atmosphere. There are a lot of properties around Bodrum, but few in this league. Add to your short list as hard to find!

Relax in the garden - listen to the waves

The Turquoise Coast/Lycia region

Something for everyone here - sandy beaches to the south, and south west, ancient history, sailing and yachting, golf not so far away, and restaurants on the beach. Sunny right through to November, ideal Autumn holiday. Mini buses (Domus), take you everywhere. But car hire is excellent way of seeing the peninsula. Fantastic hypermarkets too, with everything!

The Bodrum / Yalikavak area

The Bodrum Peninsula - Aegean coast

On the Bodrum Peninsula buildings are not permitted to be built more than 2 stories high, and there are no buildings higher than 3 stories in the whole Peninsula. This tends to make the area look particularly attractive. Most of the buildings are white washed cubes, similar to those in the Greek Islands. This is because this part of Turkey used to belong to Greece and some of the Greek Islands used to belong to Turkey. As you can imagine, there is a lot of history around the area.

As well as Bodrum, there are some really picturesque areas to visit around the peninsula with some stunning sunsets!

Bodrum town itself is huge in terms of shops and restaurants and night life. Ideal for visiting whereas Yalikavak is ideal to be staying - so peaceful after a day or night on Bodrum!

Yalikavak is fast becoming a popular tourist destination with its authentic villages and high class international marina. Yalikavak is ideal for people who want the facilities of a bigger resort but not the non stop night-life.

Yalikavak is one of the greenest locations on the Bodrum peninsula and nature has been generous in terms of granting it an amazing sea and coastline, together with an endless breeze that cools this unique place even during the hottest of summer days.

Windmills are one of the symbols of Yalikavak. When you arrive at the location where the windmills stand you will be greeted with an enchanting panorama as far as the eye can see. Above all when the sun sets over Yalikavak it's the perfect time to enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants that line the harbour and sea front of Yalikavak.

It's enough to take just a short tour around Yalikavak to realise that it's the best of all round destination of the Bodrum peninsula and well deserves the title.......

"A JEWEL IN THE HEART OF THE AEGEAN" Lots more about Yalikavak - a preferred alternative to Bodrum?

Yalikavak, 18 km away from Bodrum centre on the north western tip of the Bodrum Peninsula, has grown in size over recent years, but remains still very much a place where the locals welcome holiday makers with open arms. The permanent inhabitants of Yalikavak number around 6,800 people.

Yalikavak is becoming ever more popular as an alternative resort to Bodrum. The small harbour is surrounded by restaurants and bars, and while there is the occasional disco bar, the general atmosphere is quiet, unhurried and relaxed, yet further along the shoreline is a new sophisticated Marina.

Approaching Yalikavak from Bodrum you cannot help but notice the stunning panoramic view of Yalikavak Bay. This fertile coastal region is ideal for sailing and all water sports and attracts many foreign yachts to the Marina and old harbour that once sheltered mainly fishing boats.Yalikavak is a vibrant harbour town at the northern end of Bodrum Peninsula. It has a beach, a Thursday market and enough cafes and restaurants to satisfy locals and holidaymakers alike. There are a number of supermarkets where you can shop for those essentials for your Turkey property. A restored 300 year old windmill sits in the middle of a pedestrian area of cobbled streets.

Yalikavak is ideal for those who want the facilities of the big resorts without the non-stop nightlife. A number of restaurants line the harbour front. The area is renowned for its superb sunsets which you can enjoy from the terrace of your villa along with stunning Aegean Sea views. This development is just 200 metres from a golden sandy beach and close to the town centre; this Turkey property has great rental potential.

Yalikavak has a very good local transport system and is just 17km from Bodrum town. The local mini-bus (dolmus) ride from Yalikavak to Bodrum is to be recommended for the spectacular views en-route. Bodrum is the site of the Halicarnassus Mausoleum. You can see St Peter's Castle and experience the lively town centre with its array of shops, restaurants and sophisticated nightlife. You can take one of the many boat trips from the harbour including those to the Greek Island of Kos.

The recently built Yalikavak Marina has brought new visitors to the town, in particular yachting enthusiasts. There is also a new golf facility in Bodrum, Vita Park Golf. There is a currently a great deal of investment in the area making this an ideal time to buy property in Bodrum.





Fishing & Seafood
Yalikavak still supports a thriving fishing industry and the restaurants around the picturesque harbour display a wide selection of fresh fish every day. The town is known for its excellent seafood restaurants - try Sait, you won't be disappointed.

Restaurants
Yalikavak has a huge selection of restaurants to suit all tastes.

Shopping & Market
There are many shops in the traffic free centre, selling local wares and tourist items.
Every Thursday there is a colourful weekly market split in 2 halves. Clothes, textiles and traditional Turkish wares on one side, and the other with fruit, vegetables, great choices of olives, herbs and spices.

Marina
Just a few minutes walk along the shoreline from the centre of Yalikvak is the new Marina. The Marina is home to many large yachts and is visited by yachts from all over the world in summer. It has stylish shops and several restaurants and cafes, plus a seaside 2,500 seater Amphitheatre used for open air concerts and fashion shows during the summer months.

Beaches
The main beach in Yalikavak is long and narrow and lined with a few restaurants. It is easy to sit back and not worry where your next drink or meal will come from! Yalikavak's beach is never busy and you won't be sandwhiched in amongst sun loungers. Away from the harbour end of town, the quieter the beach becomes. Yalikavak is always said to be a little cooler in the summer than other parts of the region due to the gentle offshore breezes. Whereas Bodrum is hot, in all respects, in summer.

Yalikavak is renowned for its superb sunsets and unspoilt shoreline. Its sparkling clean sea is one of the few remaining abodes of the endangered “Monachus Monachus” Mediterranean seals and therefore a protected area. In 2002 Yalikavak Bay was awarded the "Blue Flag" for its clean waters

“As close to perfect as you can get...........” Well where do I start..... The property is fabulous and has everything you could possibly want, far outweighed our expectations from a holiday home, the uninterrupted sea views and sunsets spectacular. Every time we went out we wanted to get back to our balcony or the pool which also overlooked the sea. The beds were very comfortable, everything spotlessly clean and the owners are lovely genuine couple who do everything possible to make the stay perfect, they certainly went the extra mile, and can't wait to return to either this property in yalikavak, bodrum or one of their other properties

“Well equipped property in tranquil setting with amazing views” Spent 8 days here September 2011. The views from the terrace are almost addictive - we had to tear ourselves away some days, and then when we did we found ourselves longing to get back! Property location is at the end of the development in a private and tranquil setting but totally secure. Shared pool was quiet on most days. The owner was really helpful to us with directions, organising car hire etc. And when we had a couple of minor issues whilst there he responded immediately

“Superb location with stunning views” Property in excellent condition with everything required to have a great holiday. Balcony overlooking the ocean with sun the latter part of the day. Owners very helpful and efficient and the onsite representative extremely friendly and helpful too. Choice of beach (walk down steep hill) with bar and restaurant or pool. Pool quiet and relaxing. 10 minute bus to Yalikavak and 15 bus to Gumusluk. Buses come regularly and they are cheap. Good if you don't wish to hire a car. All in all, great place, great location and would thoroughly recommend.

Guestbook for Golden Sunset Residence Bodrum

October
Hi David. We have had a fantastic week, not nearly long enough, and we will definately come back. Everything has been perfect in every way and we thank you for a wonderful holiday. Yalikavak is so friendly, and the villa is so homely. The view is amazing from the terrace and the pool. Please feel free to quote me. regards, TE, Lancs

Sept We all had an excellent holiday experience staying at Golden Sunset Residence villa in Yalikavak. My Brother, Boyfriend and myself wanted to take my mother away somewhere special for her 50th birthday and we couldn't have found anywhere more perfect. None of us had been to Turkey before, and despite being car less for our stay this did not cause a problem. The villa was in amazing location with breathtaking seacoast views, it was modern and yet very homely, with everything we could have needed provided. We were able to travel anywhere we needed using the efficient and inexpensive bus system which runs regularly and can be taken from just outside the complex. Everyone we spoke with was understanding of our lack of language experience and very friendly, especially the tour operators at Heavenly tours (located centre of Yalikavak), who we took both a sailing day and trip to the water park with. We filled each day with something new to see and do; including turkish markets, beachs, Bodrum castle and Gumusluk rabbit island. Yet we still feel this area of Turkey has more to offer and we would love to make a return visit.
A big thanks to David and Liz for providing such an amazing place to stay

'Just back from an amazing holiday. Villa even better than expected and the view was to die for!!'

July We have just got back from an amazing holiday in Turkey. The Villa was even better than expected and the view was to die for!! The directions worked a treat and we found the villa easily enough. We are considering nipping back later this year, if not - certainly will be back next year IL Lancs


When we arrived, we thought 'wow' we have really landed on our feet here! Was a short break - wish we had longer! Loved the waves at night...Will be rebooking next year - ES Surrey

Have just arrived at 8b and we love it. Will be telling all our friends about it. Cheers! JB NYork US

Hello Elizabeth and David,
We are back from our wonderful time in your villa - Golden Sunset residences – that really lived up to it’s name.
We absolutely loved it and as you said, the sea views from “our” terraces were addictive – have already started to plan our next trip so we will be in touch again. Thank you again KC London

Dear David and Liz,

Thank you for letting us use your lovely home in Yalikavavik.we loved everything about it and the sunsets were as you say spectacular, we did not want to come home and would love to live in Yalicavak. All the people were lovely and friendly we met and made lots of new friends. It was very quiet we had the pool almost to ourselves but spent most days by the sea. We went to a few places Myndos City and Turgutreis following the coast round we attempted to drive into Bodrum but gave up as too busy. We will certainly be going back.

Once again thank you very much for a super holiday everything you said about the property and the resort was spot on we would recommend your property any time we wish it was ours.
Kind regards, and thanks for all your help and approachability. SM and family Cheshire

The rates are per week, pro-rata over a week. daily rates for less than 6 days. This is a luxury villa-like property in an amazing location on an exclusive development. Flights to Turkey are relatively expensive in relation to cost of accommodation, so probably best to avoid 'cheap' properties. The weather is fairly sunny in Spring and late Autumn, and several owners live on site, as this is more of a home than just a quiet holiday villa. Note - if there is a small overlap between the dates you require and already booked flights, we can arrange hotel accommodation or similar for a couple of days?

You can pay in Euros, USD or £. Uk cheque, Paypal, Bank transfer

Please pay by BACS, or cheque for refundable breakage deposit. 15% 100GB £ or 125 Euros. Please ask about long term rentals. Ideal for winter let!! Please ring me 07939241350 or 01322 861093 for quick responses. Or send text. Thanks.

The winter rates exclude cleaning at £60 per booking. (Its cheaper / day to book for longer) Short lets - cleaning at cost.

Availability

Availability notes:

SEPTEMBER and OCTOBER are great times to visit BODRUM peninsula! We have plenty of availability from just £395/week! Arrive any day - leave any day. If not available, or looking for something based on price, it may be of help to use the search box at top, try '52068' Turkey - Tuzla Golf, Sea and Country (sleeps 4), In addition, if not available for the dates you would like, we should be able to easily find alternative local accommodation for the extra days. If you like our Yalikavak property but just want to show interest at this stage, please add it to your favourites.press 'add to shortlist'. If you are needing some more information (which we would be delighted to provide) please send an enquiry.The availability is liable to change at any time, so unless you are ready to book within 2-3 days, you may prefer to wait a little longer. In relation to often expensive flight costs you may feel an extra £100-£150/wk for a fantastic view , is well worth the extra compared with an ordinary apartment in Bodrum. In the Summer, this very popular location near Yalikavak is less stifling than Bodrum, with warm breezes off the sea, but in Bodrum you may feel a bit overwhelmed by the heat and hectic surroundings. If you are in a position to book and the only concern holding you back, (and after checking other similar properties), is wanting to reconfirm availabilty (my availability calendar is almost always up to date) and price (which is pro rata the weekly rate for bookings 1-2 weeks, less for 2-3 weeks) then please send an enquiry (contact agent/owner requesting availability). If you are flexible on destinations please see links below. Please also see 52065 Lanzarote (apartment sleeps 3-4); 52067 Cyprus *(villa sleeps 7), thank you!
