Yalikavak. I went there a few years ago before we discovered Kalkan and it''s very nice. It is similar to Kalkan in that accomodation is spread out from a village. The village isn''t as big as Kalkan and is all on the flat. The restaurants range from cheap and cheerful to expensive, when they are overlooking the sea. There are about half a dozen bars too
Yali has a beautiful marina with loads of posh yachts moored there and because of this there is a more international feel than Kalkan and is well situated on the Bodrum peninsula for visiting other places.
I have also stayed in Bitez but didnt like that as much.
I''ve never been on the ferry though so can''t help you with that.
