Your destination offers many restaurants that provide international cuisine. 

However, it is possible to locate reputable restaurants that offer tasty local food. 

Typical local dishes in the area are : 

  • İzmir köfte: A regional specialty of meatballs served with potatoes, green peppers, and tomatoes in a savory sauce.
  • Gözleme: Traditional Turkish flatbread, often filled with spinach, cheese, or minced meat and cooked on a griddle.
  • Mezes: A selection of small dishes and appetizers, including various salads and dips, often featuring fresh local vegetables.
  • Seafood and Fish: As a coastal town, fresh fish and other seafood are staple offerings at local restaurants.
