Yalikavak

Yalikavak is a small fishing town, very relaxed and chilled in it’s ambience. A huge fruit and vegetable market (which also sells clothes, perfume, household goods…) is held each Thursday in Yalikavaks' pedestrianised town centre.

This tranquil ambience in Yalikavak continues through to the evening and night time, where one can enjoy fantastic fresh fish dishes, followed by a few glasses of raki to aid the digestion, overlooking the harbour. As Bodrum is a just spit away; 18km, there’s no need for loud bars, so Yalikavak is perfect for those who fancy a bit of peace and quiet!
