Ayvalik

The best time to visit Ayvalik is during the shoulder seasons, spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October). The weather is pleasant, the crowds are smaller, and the prices are generally lower than during the peak summer months.

Some must-see attractions include the Taksiyarhis Church (now a museum), the Devil's Feast (Şeytan Sofrası) viewpoint for panoramic views, the charming streets of the old town, and a boat trip to Cunda Island.

Ayvalik offers a delightful culinary experience, with a focus on fresh seafood, olive oil-based dishes, and Turkish specialties. Don't miss trying the famous Ayvalik toast, local olives, and a variety of mezes.
