Bodrumlife > Beldeler > Yalıkavak Ortakent Yahşi
|
 |
| As its name simplies, Ortakent
(middle town) is centrally located on the Bodrum
peninsula, making it most suitable as a base from
which to explore the region. Yahşi, on the other
hand, means pretty, so it's the proper name for
Ortakent's lovely seaside area. |
 |
The beach is long
and wide, with cooling breezes coming off the
sea to provide relief from the summer heat and aid
in getting a suntan. Waiters from the cafes and
restaurants along the shore will willingly serve
you on the beach if you don't feel like moving
from your favoured spot. It's a peaceful, quite
place, ideal to laze the hours away.
Inhabited in the Mycenaean Era more than 3500 years
ago, Ortakent retains its attachment to the soil. The
green fertile valley between the town and the shore
abounds in fig, olive and mandarin trees and neat market
gardens.
