The gorgeous Yalikavak beaches are just a narrow strip of sand but they are great places to hang out, in the day or in the evening. The main stretch of beach runs from the center of the village down to the old fishing port. Even though it is incredibly popular, it has managed to maintain a slow paced way of life throughout the village and yet, you can skip over to the ultra-hip Palmarina for some fast-paced nightlife and some of Turkeys best chain restaurants and choices are colorful and varied when it comes to choosing a good establishment for an excellent meal.
