The small town of Yalikavak is becoming ever more popular as an alternative resort to Bodrum. Yalikavak still supports a thriving fishing industry and the restaurants around the picturesque harbor display a wide selection of fresh fish every day.

There are many shops in the traffic free center, and every week the town hosts one of the biggest fruit, vegetable and clothing markets on the Bodrum Peninsula.

The small harbor is surrounded by restaurants and bars, and while there is the occasional disco bar the general atmosphere is quiet, unhurried and relaxed. We have a choice of beach-side apartments or hillside villas and apartments.
