Dinner table in a stone courtyard in Alaçatı with seasonal Aegean dishes

Çeşme

Eat

From Aegean mezes and fresh seafood to courtyard dinners in historic stone houses across Çeşme and Alaçatı.

How we look at this

Dining across the Çeşme peninsula is rooted in Aegean wild herbs, olive oil dishes, and daily catches from the sea. Evening meals often center around the stone paved streets and courtyard gardens of Alaçatı, while Dalyan and the Çeşme Marina area are traditional spots for fresh fish and seafood by the water. During the day, casual eateries across Ilıca and surrounding villages serve classic Aegean olive oil plates. The region brings together traditional meyhanes and contemporary chef-led dining rooms interpreting local ingredients.
