Yalıkavak Bay

Perched on a hillside overlooking the Aegean Sea, Yalıkavak is a captivating coastal destination that blends history, natural beauty, and modern charm. The iconic windmills, standing as witnesses to centuries of history, offer stunning panoramic views of the bay’s turquoise waters. The town is divided into two distinct areas: the charming Old Town, with its narrow streets and traditional architecture, and the more modern, upscale marina area, known for its luxury yachts and chic boutiques.

In the colourful local bazaar, travellers will find authentic Turkish goods, from handwoven carpets and ceramics to locally made crafts. For a unique experience, visit the Geriş Ceramic Workshop, a family-run business with over 50 years of history, where you can watch artisans at work or try your hand at pottery.

Yalıkavak’s coastline is dotted with beautiful beaches, including the lively Küdür Public Beach— ideal for sunbathing, swimming, or water sports. The crystal-clear waters are perfect for snorkelling and diving, with vibrant marine life and underwater caves to explore. For a day trip, take a boat tour to discover hidden coves that are tucked away from the world and waiting to be explored.

Yalıkavak is easily accessible by air, with Bodrum Milas Airport just a 45-minute drive away. From there, you can rent a car or take a taxi to the town. While in the region, consider visiting other iconic Turkish destinations like Pamukkale, known for its thermal pools and travertine terraces (around 3.5 hours by car), or the ancient city of Ephesus, one of the best-preserved Roman ruins in the world (approximately 2.5 hours away).

Throughout the year, Yalıkavak hosts cultural events, from traditional music and dance performances to art exhibitions and food festivals, showcasing Türkiye’s rich heritage. Whether you’re drawn to its pristine beaches, historical charm, or vibrant culture, Yalıkavak offers a diverse and enriching Mediterranean experience.
