Guide to Yaka

"Encircled by mountains, Yaka sits in the heart of the Bodrum Peninsula and is a quiet, village off the beaten track, where little has changed over the years. You can relish the flavour of authentic Turkey in this charming town, where old traditions have been passed from generation to generation and days can be spent unwinding and discovering this captivating region."

This secluded hamlet is the perfect place to indulge in some blissful, undisturbed relaxation and is centrally located to explore this breathtaking peninsula. Nearby Ortakent is oozing with Turkish charm, nestled among citrus groves and fig trees and you can stroll around the remnants of Mustafa Pasha Tower, a medieval fortification and sample the local dishes such as meze, a mouth-watering selection of salad, rice, lamb and vegetable dishes to share. Or head for the busy bustle of Bodrum with its sugar-cube houses and palm-lined streets laced with colourful shops and bars. Wherever you are, be sure to take the time and sit with a refreshing drink as the sun sinks and the whole sky is illuminated in shimmering shades of orange and pink.
