ABOUT YALIKAVAK
You will immediately become aware of the
tranquility that wraps around everthing like an invisible
being, besides so many other beatiful things, when you first
step into Yalikavak. It is not known whether this effect
originates from Yalikavak being spread over a wide area or
the endless breeze that cools this unique place even during
the hottest days of the summer, one thing is certain however
the sensation of tranquility will embrace you completely.
Yalikavak is one of the greenest locations of the peninsula
and nature has been generous in terms of granting it an
amazing sea and coastline.
 Yalikavak is
an excellent gift that God granted to mankind when taking
into consideration the wonderful combination of the blue
hues of the coves with the green tints of the olive and
tangerine trees. Windmills are one of the symbols of
Yalikavak. When you arrive at the location where the
windmills stand you will immediately realise that the heat
which followed you up there has quit its long chase. Stand
beside the windmills and take a look at the horizon, you
will witness completely green scenery on one side, streching
up to Ortakent, where if winks at the bright blue sea; and
the sea presenting an enchanting panorama on the other side
! Above all when the sun sets over Yalikavak it's a perfect
moment to enjoy a meal at one of the fish restaurants on the
sea shore.
 Preserving the
architectural characteristics of Yalikavak and the
systematic development of the district adds extra beauty to
the region. Yalikavak does not suffer poor construction
thanks to its conscious approach. You will come across lots
of well preserved stone houses in Yalikavak. For instance,
most of the fountains and cisterns have been preserved or
turned into galleries after the necessary restorations were
done. One project that has yet to be commenced is the
windmill in the town centre which is planned to be put into
operating condition soon. It is enough to take a short tour
around Yalikavak to see that it is the best location within
the region and has developed in terms of architectural
aspects. You will come across many landmark buildings, for
which you will see that the architectural backround is being
preserved.
