have just returned from a great holiday in Yalikavak. We stayed at the Cimentepe apartments which were fabulous. basically furnished but very clean as were the grounds and the pool. The staff were great especially when we had to take one of our children to the doctors. they phoned the medical centre, told them to expect us in 10 minutes, put us in a taxi and then sorted out the medication as it needed reconstituting and of course the instructions were in Turkish. Not to mention providing sick bowls and taking meals to the room for the "nurse" and toast when my son could tolerate it. Yalikavak is beautiful and the sunsets were breath taking. will definately return some day
