Yalikavak impresses with its combination of
alluring traditional charm and a sense of recognition of the importance
of contemporary comforts desired by today's discerning visitor. This is

The town is neat and tidy, and some antiquated
buildings have undergone sensitive restoration and conversation to
modern use, one being an old water cistern converted to a gallery
displaying the works of well-known local and national painters. Another
is a disused olive oil processing plant which has been refurbished and
turned into an attractive souvenir shop.
Active civic groups work in concert with the municipality to promote the
town and to protect it from depredation by the unscrupulous, so far
achieving very positive results: the environment is cared for, services
are timely and the hotels and restaurants are among the best in region. |
