The place
Dinner on the waterfront in Şifne
Ritüel is the chef-led restaurant at GAIA By The Sea, with an open-air setting beside the water. Tolga Kamiloğlu combines contemporary Turkish cooking with occasional Asian influences. Consider it when you want a different evening from a traditional fish-and-meze dinner.
The food
MICHELIN highlights charcoal-grilled baby calamari and citrus-led desserts. These give a sense of the kitchen’s style; choose from the current menu when you book.

Thermal Springs in Çeşme: Ilıca and Şifne Guide
Çeşme’s thermal side is easy to miss if you only think of the peninsula in terms of beaches and summer nightlife.
