About this place
Yalıkavak Marina is one of the most prestigious and beautiful marinas on the Turkish Aegean coast, situated in the charming village of Yalıkavak on the northern tip of the Bodrum peninsula. Developed into a world-class superyacht destination, the marina is surrounded by a stunning waterfront promenade of designer boutiques, acclaimed restaurants, and stylish bars, set against a backdrop of the sparkling Aegean and the Greek islands on the horizon.
Tips
Visit on a Thursday morning when Yalıkavak hosts one of the most popular and colourful weekly markets on the Bodrum peninsula, drawing locals and visitors from across the region for fresh produce, spices, textiles, and handcrafted goods. The marina promenade is at its most atmospheric in the evening when the superyachts are illuminated and the waterfront restaurants and bars fill with a stylish crowd. Yalıkavak is located around 18 kilometres from Bodrum town centre and easily reached by dolmuş minibus or taxi, making it a rewarding half-day or full-day excursion combining the marina with a swim at one of the nearby beaches.
