Yalıköy was historically a Greek town named Potima. During the population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923 that followed the Greco-Turkish War (1919–22), around 60 Turkish families from Greece were settled in the homes of exchanged Greeks.
Yalıköy is a coastal town surrounded on three sides by woods of the Strandzha mountain massif. Its sandy beach attracts tourists. The main economy of the village is forestry and fishing. A local production facility of Şişecam mines silicon as raw material for the glass industry.[4] Another local facility operated by the State Hydraulic Works (DSİ) use Yalıköy sand in water purification.[5]
The Çilingoz Nature Park, which offers camping and outdoor recreation activities, is about 10 km (6.2 mi) west of Yalıköy.[3][5]
