Location: Gumuskaya area of Yalikavak, between Yalikavak and Gumusluk, Bodrum Peninsula. 9km from Palmarina, Yalikavak

Located in the quiet coastal area of Gumuskaya, Yalikavak, this is one of the top tourist destinations in Turkey (often likened as the St Tropez of Turkey). Aegean View is one of only 24 villas built on a small prestigious development which enables it's residents to enjoy the luxuries of life.

Just 45 minutes drive from Bodrum Milas International Airport and between 8 minutes to Yalikavak Marina and town centre. Bodrum town centre is a quick 15/20 minute drive, Gundogan bay aprox 15/20 mins. Other Peninsula towns all approx 10/15 mins drive from each other

Exterior: Fabulous Sea and hillside views, shared infinity pool steps away and private terrace/garden

Private sea facing terrace off the lounge via patio doors... letting in the beautiful colourful views of the sea, hillside and nightly sunsets. Here you can dine, take in the sea views or lounge/sunbathe - the perfect spot for a sundowner at evening time when the fragrance of the mimosa mingles with day changing to night. There is a small umbrella to provide shade over the terrace dining table, this can also be taken to the beach. Also a large parasol which is attached to the patio floor of the terrace. The chairs on the terrace are relaxing loungers which can recline to horizontal, there are also 2 footstools and a portable BBQ.

The magnificent shared infinity pool (shown in the photos) is literally a few steps away, there you will find sun loungers, shade and lounge furniture to enjoy. Guests at this location often comment they had the pool to themselves! The reason for this is there are only a small number of villas at this location, the majority have private pools therefore this large pool is never over used or crowded as the larger villas owners and guests use their own pools

More information on this area:

The Turkish Aegean Coast Region

On the Bodrum Peninsula buildings are not permitted to be built more than 2 stories high, and there are no buildings higher than 3 stories in the whole Peninsula. This tends to make the area look particularly attractive. Most of the buildings are white washed cubes, similar to those in the Greek Islands. This is because this part of Turkey used to belong to Greece and some of the Greek Islands used to belong to Turkey. As you can imagine, there is a lot of history around the area.

History

Archaeological excavations have established that human habitation in the Yalikavak area began in around 2000BC, and there are ruins and artefacts from the Carian, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman eras. The historic sites such as Sandima, Pasanda (Geris), Kandiba and Termil (Dirmil/Gökçebel) attract visitors from all over the world. Yalikavak is famous for the numerous windmills found in the vicinity. The winds, that until recently turned the vanes of these working windmills, now fill the sails of boats and windsurfs. Another “typical” feature found in abundance here are domed water cisterns which, in the past, were used in times of drought and are now being adapted for artistic and cultural uses.

A 20 minute road journey will take you to Bodrum Centre with its historic castle which was built from 1402 onwards, by the Knights of St John as the Castle of St. Peter or Petronium. The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus is also located in Bodrum town.

Ferry trips to the Greek island of Kos can be made from Turgutreis and Bodrum

Further afield you can visit Ephesus, the largest archaeological site in the world, the stunning pools at Pamukkale, the royal rock tombs at Dalyan, and the temple of Apollo at Didim.

Yalikavak

Yalikavak, 18 km away from Bodrum centre on the North Western tip of the Bodrum Peninsula, has grown in size over recent years, but remains still very much a place where the locals welcome holidaymakers with open arms. The permanent inhabitants of Yalikavak number around 6,800 people. Yalikavak is becoming ever more popular as an alternative resort to Bodrum. The small harbour is surrounded by restaurants and bars, and while there is the occasional disco bar, the general atmosphere is quiet, unhurried and relaxed, yet further along the shoreline is a new sophisticated Marina.

Approaching Yalikavak from Bodrum you cannot help but notice the stunning panoramic view of Yalikavak Bay. This fertile coastal region is ideal for sailing and all water sports and attracts many foreign yachts to the Marina and old harbour that once sheltered mainly fishing boats.

FISHING & SEAFOOD

Yalikavak still supports a thriving fishing industry and the restaurants around the picturesque harbour and marina display a wide selection of fresh fish every day. The town is known for its excellent seafood restaurants - try Sait, you won't be disappointed.

RESTAURANTS

Yalikavak has a huge selection of restaurants to suit all tastes.

SHOPPING AND WEEKLY VENDOR'S MARKET

There are many shops in the traffic free centre, selling local wares and tourist items. Every Thursday there is a colourful weekly market split in 2 halves. Clothes, textiles and traditional Turkish wares on one side, and the other with fruit, vegetables, great choices of olives, herbs and spices.

MARINA (Palmarina)

Just a few minutes walk along the shoreline from the centre of Yalikvak is the new Marina. The Marina is home to many large yachts and is visited by yachts from all over the world in summer. It has stylish shops and several restaurants and cafes, plus a seaside 2,500 seater Amphitheatre used for open air concerts and fashion shows during the summer months.

BEACHES

Gumuskaya beach(s) are split between private areas for owners and guess of nearby sites and Gumuskaya public beach. If you are turned away, you will likely be at a private resident's beach.

The main beach in Yalikavak is long and narrow and lined with a few restaurants. It is easy to sit back and not worry where your next drink or meal will come from! Yalikavak's beach is never busy and you won't be sandwhiched in amongst sun loungers. Away from the harbour end of town, the quieter the beach becomes. Yalikavak is always said to be a little cooler in the summer than other parts of the region due to the gentle offshore breezes. Whereas Bodrum is hot, in all respects, in summer.

Yalikavak is renowned for its superb sunsets and unspoilt shoreline. Its sparkling clean sea is one of the few remaining abodes of the endangered “Monachus Monachus” Mediterranean seals and therefore a protected area. In 2002 Yalikavak Bay was awarded the "Blue Flag" for its clean waters.

Local buses (Dolmus) go to most local villages as well as Bodrum town and are a cheap way of getting around. Other towns worth a visit by bus are Gundgoan, Gumusluk, Turgutreis. Dolmus mini buses to these run from Yalikavak bus depot regularly all year and more frequently in the summer season

Yalikavak has supermarkets, banks, ATMs, Taxi ranks, bus station, petrol stations etc.

A car is advised for this location but not absolutely necessary. The dolmus (public transport minibus) runs along the main road from Yalikavak to Gumusluk, this is near the entrance gate to Aegean View.

Distances: Bodrum town is 20 mins drive; Yalikavak is less than 10 mins drive, Gumusluk fishing village and harbour restaurants are 10/15 mins drive in the opposite direction

Turgutreis is 20 mins drive : Nearest supermarket, Migros, 1 km - 20 minute walk, 2 min drive, small shop is a 5 minute walk
