Are you obsessed with sunsets? Finding the ideal location to see the sky melt is all that matters as the day veers into the evening. This means that plans are frequently changed, dinner reservations are rescheduled, and even talks are interrupted in Bodrum, on the southwest coast of Turkey. Furthermore, Yalıkavak is the true hero of the golden hour, even though Gümüşlük has long been the quintessential picture.
Here, patrons select their dining establishments based on the sun’s angle rather than the menu’s length. Getting that table facing west before the light starts its nighttime magic is the main reason for the rush, not the cuisine. I would have sworn Gümüşlük was unmatched till recently. I am now certain that Yalıkavak is the rightful owner of the crown.
Delicious dining in Yalikavak
Sitting inside the kitchen of Avantgarde Refined Yalıkavak, which is as captivating as the view. Under the direction of entrepreneur and Chef Çiğdem Seferoğlu, the menu creatively reimagines the culinary traditions of Turkey. A cold meat platter that might be used as a still life picture, artichokes and içli köfte that taste like nostalgia reimagined, and daring additions like kokoreç and uykuluk for the daring are all to be expected. Even as the light goes out, seafood enthusiasts will find the grilled shrimp and octopus to be worth staying for.
If anything, it was an understatement when The New York Times referred to Çiğdem Seferoğlu as a “star chef” in its article How Female Chefs Are Sparkling in Istanbul. She offers flavours that are both genuine and surprising, with roots in Turkish customs yet not hesitant to push the envelope. She is the one who has the power to change the way that people throughout the world perceive Turkish food. Here, sunset serves as more than just a background; it’s the icing on the cake.
The stunning sunset at Zuma Bodrum
The restaurant at Yalıkavak Marina becomes a golden-hour stage, half dining destination, and part photo opportunity as the sun sets. It’s simple to understand why guests wait in line for their chance to see the scenery. Zuma’s minimalist, organic architecture, recently renovated for the winter, frames the Aegean like a living piece of art. With dishes like lamb chops kissed with sweet miso and black pepper, miso-marinated black fish in hoba leaf, and sushi and sashimi as accurate as origami, executive chef Emrah Orak’s menu is the epitome of global-Japanese perfection. Local specialties like Butter King Crab and Ponzu Lime pay homage to Bodrum’s abundant coastline. And when does the sun set for good? The music starts up, the infinity pool catches the final rays, and night falls.
Sunset at Şişko
As the audience transitions from sitting diners to tabletop dancers in a few minutes, picture the golden disk dropping below a magnificent sculpture by Artem Martis. The vista is unabashedly dramatic, the music loud, and the energy contagious. If you enjoy your sunsets with a side of unadulterated mayhem, this event is a combination of spectacle and beach party that will leave you with amazing memories.
