It is situated on the quieter northern coast of the Bodrum Peninsula. As it remains largely unspoilt it manages to retain its Turkish charm and relaxed atmosphere. Yalikavak has sandy beaches, clear blue waters and a fantastic new marina, where you can take a short evening stroll to admire the super yachts. You can watch the locals fishing for their supper on the harbour wall or sit by the beach with a gin and tonic or a pint of the local Effes beer to watch the sunset over the Aegean sea. The local market is held every Tuesday for food, and on Thursdays has many stalls selling linens, towels, T shirts, jeans and leather bags – all at bargain prices – as long as you are prepared to haggle a bit! The food market is very bright and colourful with stalls selling vegetables, nuts and spices, and a huge variety of Turkish delight. From the town centre you can hop on a dolmus to visit Bodrum or one of the neighbouring resorts, such as Gumusluk, Torba or Gundogan. To the south of the peninsula are the livelier resorts of Gumbet, Bitez and Turgutreis. There are daily boat trips from the harbour, where you can lie and relax in the sun as you sail to secluded bays to swim from the boat in the clear Aegean waters and have lunch and afternoon Turkish tea and cakes. Bodrum Bodrum is about a 25 minute drive away, with many fashionable shops, waterfront restaurants and cafes and a large marina. A visit to Bodrum’s 15th century Castle, built by the Knights of St John is recommended, as is the castle’s museum of underwater archaeology. From the waterfront in Bodrum you can take a day trip to the Greek island of Kos. Other attractions include a visit to a local Turkish bath or hammam, followed by a vigorous massage. Try a Turkish night, with belly dancing and a buffet of traditional mezes. Further afield you can take a trip to Ephesus – the largest archaeological site in the world, the stunning pools at Pamukkale, the royal rock tombs at Dalyan or the temple of Apollo at Didim.
