unspoilt shorelines and sparkling clean seas. It is located just 10

service. During the summer the shops are usually open until 
midnight. The village hosts a popular clothing and food market once 
a week on a Thursday and a flea market on the last Sunday of the

Harbour and Marina

This fertile coastline with clear waters and a small beach is ideal 
for sailing and water sports and attracts many foreign yachts to the 
harbour which once sheltered fishing boats. The newly built Port 
Bodrum in Yalikavak has brought new visitors and a sleek, 
sophisticated new image. The 450 berth marina offers its guests 
everything a five-star resort can provide. It also offers some 
interesting attractions such as diving and sailing schools. 

Attractions and History

 Many buildings in the town have undergone sensitive restoration 
including the conversion of an old water cistern into an art 
gallery. Yalikavak's history goes parallel with that of Bodrum. 
Today, most of the archaeological remains are unexcavated sites. It 
is suggested that the ancient city of Yalıkavak was situated on top 
of one of the hills. Few tombstones and city walls still bear 
witness to history of the town. the Carian cave tombs are worth 
seeing. The tombs have been carved directly into the rock and 
fronted with cut stones. It once contained a funerary urn in the 
shape of a ship's prow. Located along the main road are a number of 
antique cisterns which have been used by the numerous civilizations. 
Many are still used today. Yalikavak is famous for the numerous 
windmills found in the vicinity. The winds that until recently 
turned the vanes of these working windmills, now fill the sails of 
boats and windsurfs. Another “typical” feature found in abundance 
here are domed water cisterns which, in the past, were used in times 
of drought and are now being adapted for artistic and cultural uses 

Bodrum  - (17km from apartment)

Bodrum, home of the famous Greek historian Herodotus, is these days 
better known as a popular holiday resort. Here you will find 
villages of white houses trimmed with purple bougainvillea and miles 
of sandy beaches with a variety of water sports. 

This charming town attracts a diverse mix of visitors who stroll 
along its long palm-lined waterfront, while elegant yachts fill the 
marina. Not far from the town, you can swim in clear, tideless, warm 
seas. Underwater divers explore the numerous reefs, caves and 
majestic rock formations. Bodrum has gained the reputation as the 
centre of the Turkish art community with its lively, friendly and 
Bohemian atmosphere and many small galleries. The evenings in Bodrum 
cater for all tastes from relaxing in one of the many restaurants or 
cafes, dining on fresh seafood and other Aegean specialties, to some 
of the best clubs in Europe which keep going until dawn!

provided here. The park was established on an area of 40 000m2 in 
1993. It offers visitors a variety of extended facilities apart from 
its pools, jacuzzis and water slides, such as restaurants, bars and

Myndos at Gumusluk (10minutes from Apartment)

Gumusluk is 45 kilometers from Bodrum and is set amidst tangerine 
groves. It is a lively fishing port, with numerous fish restaurants 
along the promenade, displaying a wide variety of locally caught 
seafood. Thanks to strictly enforced building prohibitions, the sea 
front has kept its original appearance and fishing village charm. No 
cars are allowed in the central area. The history of the town is at 
least as old as that of Bodrum. Gumusluk is the site of a Lelege
