Στέκια in Çeşme

All-day kitchen on the yacht slips — French-leaning breakfast through midnight cocktails, run by a working chef line rather than a brand operator

Ilıca Hotel's open-deck Aegean room overlooking the thermal bay — the resort coast's most assured kitchen

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

Nihal Hanım's garden in Saip village — forty house jams, mountain-foraged herbs, breakfast cooked by the village women

A twelve-year Alaçatı kahvaltı institution that quietly moved into the village square — herbed eggs, proper jams, no theatrics
