Holidays in Yaka

Anyone who fancies cocooning themselves in hidden Turkey will find holidays in Yaka a fantastic prospect. And one that becomes even more alluring when you know Thomson has some superb villas in this tiny hamlet – each promising to make luxurious self-catering holidays in Yaka absolutely irresistible.

Swathed in rugged hills in the middle of the Bodrum peninsula, Yaka seems hardly touched by time, making it sublime for lying back, delving into a good book and relishing some hard-earned tranquillity. Here, panoramic vistas greet your eyes in virtually every direction and the sound of silence gently teases your stresses away.

Then there's the wealth of exploring. The beauty of Yaka holidays is that the north and south coasts of the peninsula, with their contrasting attractions, are both easily accessible. From Ortakent to the south with its dark-sand beach, exciting watersports and stunning medieval tower to charming northern fishing villages, and the marina and old town of beautiful Bodrum, all the area's best bits are a short drive away.

However you spend your days though, the evenings will be equally good. Maybe dine out by the water at picturesque Gumusluk, hit the nightlife in Gumbet or best of all – do what summer holidays in Yaka are all about – just clink your glasses and soak up the serenity.
