Arka Pizza Yalıkavak

When I get tired of the endless crowds of Bodrum and want to find myself at a truly peaceful and delicious table, my feet always take me to the same place: Arka Pizza Yalıkavak.

You know some places, the moment you enter the door you say "Okay, I'm in the right place"; Arka Pizza is exactly such a place for me. In the heart of Yalıkavak, but so far away from that noisy world.

Why Do I Love This Place So Much?

• That Smell is Something Else: You know that smell of wood fire that hits your nose the moment you enter... That's the harbinger of the pizza that will come to you soon. Pizzas are cooked in a real stone oven, with oak wood.

• Thin Dough, Plenty of Toppings: I am one of those who "leave no edge" on pizza. Arka Pizza's dough is so light that it looks like it was made by a local chef in a village in Italy. Moreover, the freshness of the products they use is evident in every bite.

• It's Not Just Pizza, It's An Experience: Those fresh pastas they order with it or a tiramisu added at the end of the meal... Believe me, this sincerity feels very good after the luxury of Yalıkavak Marina.

• An Atmosphere with Soul: An atmosphere that is not boring but does not compromise on quality, where you can chat for a long time with your loved ones while sitting in the garden.

If you happen to be in Yalıkavak, do yourself a favor and stop by Arka Pizza as the evening sun sets. Try one of their famous pizzas with a glass of wine at my place. You won't regret it!
