There are many popular areas of Turkey and in recent years tourists have been discovering the Bodrum Peninsula.
Why might this be? Well, perhaps its because the area has a little something for everyone. Whether your preference is for bustling towns with lots of night life or peaceful villages with beautiful hillsides and quiet, secluded beaches, you will find something to suit in this divine region of Turkey.
Yalikavak, a harbour town with a horse shoe bay is just one such area, rich in history and tradition with historians believing the town dates back to at least 700 BC.
Despite the historic nature of the town, the residents have done a superb job of merging the old with the new, which makes for a uniquely pleasant atmosphere, welcoming both sun seekers and history buffs.
When describing Yalikavak it is easy to use the word tranquillity and be confident that you are not being clichd as despite the words over use in travel media, it fits this town very aptly.
Every holiday maker wants to know about the weather as it can be crucial to the success and feel good factor of a vacation. Yalikavak, whilst enjoying the great weather that the rest of the region enjoys, can also bring an extra rabbit out of its hat, in the form of a wonderful breeze that gently but persistently brushes the town, providing wind power for the water sports crowd and a refreshment for the sunbathers.
One thing you may not expect to find in the heart of Yalikavak and some would say is the heart of Yalikavak is the windmill on the sea front. More than 300 years old and although some restoration work is planned, this windmill has stood the test of time remarkably well and is a must to take in on your sight seeing adventures.
There are many trees In Yalikavak and they go some way to explaining the towns' translation into English which is 'poplars by the sea'. I say some way because strangely these trees dont happen to be poplars but the greenery is a perfect companion to the blue Aegean.
What about the beaches I hear you ask, after all I am sure most people would like at least a little beach time when they are on vacation. Preference may be for quiet secluded beaches, or slightly busier beaches or beaches where you can just sit and watch the locals go about their livelihoods, catching fish, as they have done for hundreds if not thousands of years. Yalikavak has them all!
If markets are of interest to you, then Thursdays will be a particular highlight as the largest bazaar in the region rolls into town. Serving up a feast of tradtional and exotic delights, it really does capture the imagination.
So as you consider your vacation, consider Turkey and consider Yalikavak, whether you are a hotel holiday maker, a backpacker or perhaps you prefer a villa rental.
The Bodrum peninsula in Turkey is awaiting your arrival.
