Yalikavak’s Charm

We have just returned from our third trip to Yalikavak and once again we had a wonderful time.

Wondering why our third trip well … It’s such a lovely place it draws us back. The village is small enough to have plenty going on both day and night. Whether its browsing the small shops, cay ( tea) at the local cafes, or picking up the freshly baked bread, nothing is hurried its all at a relaxed pace.

Turkish Night at Sofis Restaurant, Yalikavak

Having dined at Sofis Restaurant (and spent afternoons guzzling cocktails there) we decided to try out their ‘Turkish Night’ held every Thursday evening.  We were always impressed with the food and the friendly service in this beachfront eatery in the centre of Yalikavak and it sounded like good fun!

Dedeman Aquapark (Ortakent Waterpark) on the Bodrum Peninsula

Dedeman Aquapark BodrumThe kids discovered from the tour shop adverts that there was a water park nearby so it was ‘’can we go pleassse’’ The guy at Haven Tours explained it was nearby and a good day out for the kids; we could either drive ourselves, get the bus or take a tour. The tour offered a pick up around 10 drop back at 4pm however being independent and having a car we decided to go ourselves as it was only 15 minutes away from Yalikavak in the next town of Ortakent (nearby Kipa / Tesco). So we headed off to Dedeman Aquapark…

Getting Around in Yalikavak

Getting around yalikavak - eating out with a sea view of the Aegean SeaWe had arranged a private transfer with Boomerang from the airport and decided we would see how it went without a car and hire one later if need be.  We thought we would see how it was getting around in Yalikavak without a car.
