This fertile coastal region is ideal for sailing and all water sports and attracts many foreign yachts to the harbour that once sheltered mainly fishing boats. Yalikavak is renown for superb sunsets and its unspoilt beaches and sparkling clean sea is one of the few remaining abodes of the endangered Monachus Monachus Mediterranean seals and therefore a protected area. In 2002 Yalikavak Bay was awarded the "Blue Flag" for its clean waters.

Yalikavak really spoils you for choice on where to eat and drink whether it be along the promenade looking out across the sea or right in amongst the little fishing harbour. Shops are plentiful where you are able to pick up those essentials or take a little time to find that perfect holiday gift. Whatever you are after Yalikavak is sure to have it in abundance.
