Hotels near Yalikavak Marina (Luxury Yachts)

Yalikavak Marina is the largest superyacht harbour in Turkey, with 612 berths capable of accepting vessels up to 130 metres. Opened in 2014 and run by D-Marin, it has become the social anchor of the northern peninsula. The marina hosts flagship stores from Hermes and Vakko, alongside fish restaurants like Lacivert with terrace tables overlooking the moored superyachts. A walk along the breakwater takes 25 minutes and ends at a public swimming platform. The marina's Marina Brasserie runs a fixed seafood menu at TRY 1,800 per person in summer 2026, while less expensive options like Pasa Kebap on the inland street serve full meals from TRY 350. Yalikavak village itself is a 12-minute walk inland and retains stone Greek-era houses, a Saturday market (08:00 to 14:00), and the Sandima Ghost Village on the hills above (a 25-minute uphill walk).

Pro Tip: Skip dinner at the marina and instead walk inland to Yalikavak village for the same cuisine at half the price. Return for a marina nightcap once the superyachts light up.
