The Bodrum Peninsula has become a very popular holiday destination in recent years.
Why might this be? Well, perhaps its because the area has a little something for everyone. Whether your preference is for bustling towns with lots of night life or peaceful villages with beautiful hillsides and quiet, secluded beaches, you will find something to suit in this divine region of Turkey.
Situated about 35 miles from Bodrum airport, harbour town, Yalikavak is one of those places easy to fall in love with, dating back, as it does to 700 BC and with a distinct horseshoe bay.
Despite the historic nature of the town, the residents have done a superb job of merging the old with the new, which makes for a uniquely pleasant atmosphere, welcoming both sun seekers and history buffs.
Tranquillity is often a word that is overused when describing destinations for holidaymakers, yet it is a word that is unavoidable when thinking of Yalikavak.
Every holiday maker wants to know about the weather as it can be crucial to the success and feel good factor of a vacation. Yalikavak, whilst enjoying the great weather that the rest of the region enjoys, can also bring an extra rabbit out of its hat, in the form of a wonderful breeze that gently but persistently brushes the town, providing wind power for the water sports crowd and a refreshment for the sunbathers.
One thing you may not expect to find in the heart of Yalikavak and some would say is the heart of Yalikavak is the windmill on the sea front. More than 300 years old and although some restoration work is planned, this windmill has stood the test of time remarkably well and is a must to take in on your sight seeing adventures.
There are many trees In Yalikavak and they go some way to explaining the towns' translation into English which is 'poplars by the sea'. I say some way because strangely these trees dont happen to be poplars but the greenery is a perfect companion to the blue Aegean.
What about the beaches I hear you ask, after all I am sure most people would like at least a little beach time when they are on vacation. Preference may be for quiet secluded beaches, or slightly busier beaches or beaches where you can just sit and watch the locals go about their livelihoods, catching fish, as they have done for hundreds if not thousands of years. Yalikavak has them all!
If you are lucky enough to be in town on a Thursday you simply wont be able to resist the bazaar that arrives, the largest on the peninsula, peddling everything from exotic foods to Turkish carpets. It really is a feast for the senses!
Everybody has different accommodation preferences when going on holiday, some like to back pack, some like a hotel and other prefer a villa rental. Whichever is your preference, Yalikavak has something for all.
This wonderful part of Turkey is waiting for you to discover and explore.
