Staying in Yalıkavak
Use the old harbor and marina entrance as separate reference points when comparing Yalıkavak addresses. A property described as near the marina may still require a road walk before you reach the pedestrian areas. Accommodation further around the bay can involve longer journeys than expected. Ask for the route to your preferred part of the waterfront, including the return uphill.
