Yalikavak is one of Bodrum Peninsula’s most popular resorts — crystal Aegean waters, a world-class marina and relaxed beach life. This guide covers what to do, where to stay near the marina and beaches, and how to get around.
Yalikavak Marina & Palmarina
Yalikavak Marina (Palmarina) is the heart of the town: yachts, waterfront dining and boutique shopping. An evening stroll along the marina is a must. For hotels within walking distance, see our Yalikavak marina hotel guide.
Beaches & Sea
Along Plaj Caddesi (Beach Street) you’ll find seafront hotels and beach clubs with easy access to the water. For a dedicated seafront stay, read our Yalikavak beach hotel page.
