Aegean Region Travel Guide

Izmir is where you'll find one of the holiest place in the world.  Izmir houses the last home of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

It could be that I was there in March, but Yalikavak was dullsville. The beach was nothing special, the shops that were opened seemed to be dominated by tourist-baiting trinketry, and locals seemed less approachable and friendly than anywhere else in Turkey (a country that is arguably one of the friendliest on earth...at least the citizenry is, anyway). It might be worth a stop if you're lazing a few days away on the Bodrum peninsula, but I was more taken with the scenery of the tiny village of Gumusluk.

It is beautiful place near Marmaris, the best way to get there it is to taka a dolmus - small bus from Marmaris. U will discover there great nature and unique beaches. Specialy Kiz Kumu - place where u can walk on the water and stand in the middle of the bay. Going that "water road" it is something u will never forget!
