Carpe Diem Residence Yalikavak
About the home
As well as spectacular views this apartment is set in a complex with colourful gardens, a main pool and children's pool, and a small gym. It is a short 5 minute walk to the beach and the wonderful restaurants at Yalikavak and Gumusluk can be reached in 5-10 minutes either by car or catching the dolmus bus service which stops 2 minutes away.
However, you'll be so impressed with the views from the apartment that you'll probably wish to spend some time dining on the balcony watching the sunset!

The Turquoise Coast/Lycia region
The region is next to the Agean Sea and temperatures are consistently high from May until October. There is plenty to do in the area. For those who enjoy historical places of interest and local culture you can visit the ancient city of Ephesus, the royal rock tombs at Dalyan, the temple of Apollo at Didim or the spa pools at Pamukkale or even take a short 40 minute boat trip to the Greek island of Kos.
For those who would rather relax by the pool or sea you are pretty much guaranteed good weather during the long summer season. For those looking for an activity holiday why not try mountain biking, water sports or sailing?
For the children there is an excellent Water Park just 15 minutes drive away and lots of excellent beaches nearby!
The Bodrum / Yalikavak area
The smart Marina town of Yalikavak is about 2km from the apartment which you can either drive to, take a taxi or use the local dolmus (bus). The town offers an excellent range of restaurants, bars and lots of traditional shops. If you like fresh seafood the local restaurants are a must.
The area has many beaches and beach clubs to choose from. Once a week on a Thursday there is a famous market in Yalikavak which is well worth a visit and you can pick up some great bargains and locally produced fruit and veg. An even larger market is held in nearby Turgutreis on Saturdays.
The new Yalikavak marina also provides an ideal location for an evening meal by the sea in the most relaxing of settings. A highlight for most people who visit Turkey is an all day boat trip which takes you round the various bays so you can jump in the sea or you can relax on the boat with a drink and enjoy the lunch provided.
Only 20 minutes away you will find yourself in the livelier town of Bodrum with a large choice of bars, clubs and restaurants. There is also a wide range of shops with great bargains.

Guestbook for Carpe Diem Residence Yalikavak
The apartment was great....the views stunning....very nice balcony....lovely landscaping. We think your apartment must be the greatest spot in the complex because of where it's situated. The apartment was very clean and the furniture in good condition.

The apartment was perfect, its location was great for exploring and the view from the terrace was incredible - your photos on the website don't do it justice! We would definitely recommend the apartment and the area for anyone looking for a relaxing holiday in the sun.

The apartment has stunning views and the sunsets were fantastic, great
location and easy to get into Yalikavak. The restaurants served great food at
very reasonable prices.
The apartment was well furnished and had the luxury of a breeze all day this
coupled with the pool we found the complex very safe.
We liked the Dolmus transport which was reliable and cheap so a car is not
necessary.
We would highly recommend the location and the apartment

We had a wonderful time at Carpe Diem and so wished could have stayed on longer.
We really can't fault anything or suggest improvements.
We got so much enjoyment from buying loads of fresh fruit and vegetables from the Thursday market and eating Turkish style.
PERFECT!

We arrived at home two days ago after our wonderful vacation in Turkey.
Yalikavak is a pleasant village and we liked it so much, with its restaurants and cafés on the long beach or on the port.
Our stay at Carpe Diem was very nice and we thank you for your kindness.
The very comfortable apartment is like it looks in the photos and the view is truly amazing!
To look at the sea and the isles from the terrace was relaxing and every day the sunset was a new surprise.

Hi Tony
We had a fantastic time, and the apartment was lovely, so surprised that we had the pool all to ourselves,
and the view was out of this world, will definitely be booking with you again.
Thank you

'Tony
Just wanted to say that my daughters and I had a lovely time at Carpe Diem. You have a fantastic apartment in a lovely part of the world. The girls loved the pool! Ended up spending most of everyday in it! They are already bugging me to return there.
We made it down to Akyarlar on Saturday morning, so thanks for that tip. All in all, a fantastic break.'
