Two Turkish worlds in one
Over the past century or so, Yalikavak has made a graceful transition from simple fishing port to popular tourist resort. However, even with the recent addition of a sleek marina and mall, this town on Turkey’s Bodrum peninsula on the Aegean Sea retains plenty of traditional charm.
Yalikavak holidays effortlessly merge classic Turkish hospitality with modern upscale amenities, as you’ll discover while you enjoy a glass of crisp local wine in a bar, watching the sun set over distant Greek islands, or take part in some friendly banter with your waiter over an enormous platter of ‘meze’ (selection of small dishes). A former fishing and sponge-diving village, the town now has gleaming yachts and luxury boutiques, introducing a sense of contemporary glamour. However, holidays to Yalikavak would be less inviting without the lively background of proper local Turkish character, which there certainly still is. It truly offers the best of both worlds.
