The Turquoise Coast/Lycia region

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.

History
Archaeological excavations have established that human habitation in the Yalikavak area began in around 2000BC, and there are ruins and artefacts from the Carian, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman eras. The historic sites such as Sandima, Pasanda (Geriş), Kandiba and Termil (Dirmil/Gökçebel) attract visitors from all over the world. Yalikavak is famous for the numerous windmills found in the vicinity. The winds, that until recently turned the vanes of these working windmills, now fill the sails of boats and windsurfs. Another “typical” feature found in abundance here are domed water cisterns which, in the past, were used in times of drought and are now being adapted for artistic and cultural uses.

Ferry trips to the Greek island of Kos can be made from Bodrum
Further afield you can visit Ephesus, the largest archaeological site in the world, the stunning pools at Pamukkale, the royal rock tombs at Dalyan, and the temple of Apollo at Didim.

The Bodrum / Yalikavak area

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.

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. Yalıkavak 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.

Penny and Family from UK May 2011
The villa was really nice. Food was nice as well. We hope to go back next year.

Gilis Family from Belgium - April 09
We are just back from a fantastic week in Yalikavak. Very luxury villa with all necessary kitchen supplies, washer and dryer. Modern and fresh style.
Beautiful sun terrace with private pool, lounge chairs, outdoor table, outdoor lounge and sea view. Good contact with the neighbors in the complex.
Around the corner you have a grocery store where you can buy fresh bread, drinks and other provisions. There are several larger supermarkets in Yalikavak. Yalikavak is a very nice fishing village with many nice restaurants and beautiful marina. The market on Thursday, is also very nice. The surrounding villages are worth to visit, Bodrum is half hour drive. Ourselves had a rental car which is easy. We enjoyed our stay at this villa so much we have booked to go again in May with our daughter. Good contact with the owner of the villa who is always available for any info. The villa has English property managers, Ian and Annie who are available and contactable if you have any questions or problems. A real winner!

AND THE SAME COMMENTS FROM GILIS FAMILY IN DUTCH!
We zijn net terug van een fantastische week in Yalikavak. Zeer luxueuze villa met alle nodige keukenbenodigheden, wasmachine en droogkast. Modern en fris ingericht. Mooi zonneteras met privézwembad, ligstoelen, buitentafel, buitensalon en zeezicht. Goed contact met de buren in het complex. Om de hoek heb je een kruidenierswinkeltje waar je brood, beleg, drank en wat drogistrij vindt. Wat verder meerdere supermarkten waar je alles kan terugvinden. Yalikavak is een zeer gezellig vissersdorpje met vele lekkere visrestaurantjes en mooie jachthaven. De markt op donderdag is ook heel leuk. Ook de omliggende dorpen zijn zeker de moeite om te bezoeken, Bodrum is een half uurtje rijden. Wijzelf hadden een huurwagen wat wel gemakkelijk is. In mei gaan we nog eens terug met ons dochtertje erbij. Goed contact met de huisbaas, staat steeds ter beschikking voor alle info, ter plaatste zijn Ian en Mary voor je beschikbaar bij eventuele vragen of problemen. Een echte aanrader!!!
