Yalikavak is a traditional Turkish fishing village on the northern (quieter and less commercialised) coast of the Bodrum Peninsula. It has yet to appear in the mainstream travel brochures and so is a perfect retreat for those more discerning of travellers, looking for a quieter holiday but in easy reach of the hustle and bustle of Bodrum. It is well served by the local bus service with routes to all the resorts on the peninsula.There is no need for car hire unless you want to explore further afield.

Although Yalikavak has it's own sandy beaches you might want to explore some of the others nearby. There are so many that you hardly need visit the same one twice.

Yalikavak itself has some wonderful restaurants, naturally specialising in local seafood. There are many other restaurants easily accessible around the coast. There are also many bars in Yalikavak, but for more active night life visit some of the nearby neighbouring resorts.

The Bodrum Peninsula is one of the most beautiful parts of Turkey's Aegean Coast. There are numerous small fishing villages and resorts around the coast, each with their own individual character.There are many beaches to choose from both with and without watersports, to suit all tastes. There are boat trips to be had from many of the harbours.Both Bodrum and Yalikavak have marinas. For those wishing to partake in a little more serious yachting, yacht charter is available.
Those wishing to venture a bit further might like to take the ferry across from Bodrum to the Greek island of Kos.
There are many land based places to visit. These include Ephesus, the largest archaeological site in the world, the stunning pools at Pamukkale, the royal rock tombs at Dalyan, the temple of Apollo at Didim or St. Peter's Castle, built by the crusaders, in Bodrum itself.
