HISTORY
  History in Yalikavak is a part of every day life.
The city of Ouranium, of which the Sicilian
historian Daidolos spoke of, was once established
here. Some sources state that the roots of the town
go back as much as 700 B.C. and some others agree
that the Leleg people lived in this region before
700 B.C. However, history did not only leave its
traces on land in Yalikavak...
There are also some traces in the magic realm of the
underwater. The roman ship wreck lying at a depth of
52 meters, off Çimentepe, is only one of them. The
bustof the 'African Child', found in the vicinity of
the Gemitaşı rock banks and being displayed at the
Bodrum Underwater Museum; the goddess Fortuna statue
found in the same waters and the wreck of Gelidonia
(Stony Cape) are only some of the priceless
discoveries.
