YALIKAVAK & YALIKAVAK MARINA
Yalikavak Marina was voted “Best Superyacht Marina in the World”, and also awarded “5 Gold Anchors” by the British Yacht Harbour Association – let’s just say it should definitely appear on your itinerary if you’re cruising in Türkiye! You will find the marina situated on the Northwestern side of Bodrum peninsula, 18NM from Bodrum’s historic centre.
Yalikavak has grown rapidly from a former fishing and sponge diving village, into one of Türkiye’s most affluent areas. Today, aside from the pretty windmills high on the hillsides, you find luxury million-dollar villas, high-end designer stores, gourmet restaurants and a relaxed brunch and cafe culture.
Like Gocek, Yalikavak is a yachtsman’s playground. The marina is scattered with big-boy yachts and smartly dressed crew, their guests found sipping bubbles in the shade of trendy marina-side haunts, and relaxing or partying at one of the beach clubs.
Yalikavak Marina is a worthy addition to any superyacht cruising itinerary in Türkiye, and offers a good blend of old-world Turkish charm coupled with an air of wealth and sophistication.
