İzmir's serious French patisserie, summering in Ilıca

The Çeşme kumru, made by the same family since 1970

Stone terrace at the gate of Erythrai antique city, the Ildırı sunset bench with takımadalar in frame

The original sakızlı muhallebi house, the recipe the rest of the country has spent twenty years trying to copy

The Akbulut family's 2014 Alaçatı gelato counter, a Financial Times top-25 boutique, a hundred-and-fifty rotating flavours, made on site every morning

Tomris Maravent's 2004 corner café, the steady Alaçatı pulse, eight tables that grew into the village living room
