Yalikavak also shows the same characteristics as Bodrum cuisine. The culture is dominated by a blend of Aegean and Mediterranean cuisine. You can taste the bitter herb roast, which you can also find in Bodrum, made by roasting some herbs grown in the Aegean Region, also called bitter herbs, and mixing them with eggs. You can taste Çökertme kebab, stuffed zucchini blossoms with olive oil and Aegean eggplant, which you can find almost everywhere in the Bodrum Peninsula. If you go to the center of Bodrum, you can try octopus soup and fish soup made with swallow and scorpionfish. At the seaside fish restaurants in Yalikavak, you can enjoy fresh seasonal fish and many different and delicious appetizers and salads. In the morning, take a wonderful walk to Sandima Village, just 2 kilometers from the center of Yalikavak, and enjoy a wonderful breakfast, organic fruits and vegetables, village jams and different cheeses. You can have breakfast at Mother Havva's breakfast house
