Alaçatı Sakızlığı
Tokoğlu
The mastic park north of the village, the peninsula's only living gallery of Pistacia lentiscus and the Sakız Ağacım revival project's home
The world's largest olive oil museum, a Klazomenai mill replica, a working modern press, a restaurant and a shop, seventeen kilometres from Alaçatı
Founded in 2017 by the Köstem Foundation on a 20,000 m² site outside Uzunkuyu village, the museum reads like a peninsula thesis: the centrepiece is a full-scale reconstruction of the 2,600-year-old olive press from the ancient city of Klazomenai, the surrounding halls track olive oil from antiquity to modern stainless-steel extraction, and a working organic press fills the back of the property. The restaurant runs an Aegean menu built around the house oil; the shop sells the cold-pressed lines, soaps and ceramics. A half-day visit that gives the Tokoğlu wine corridor a serious counterweight.
Time the visit for late morning, the Klazomenai mill hall is best with the high-side light, and the restaurant runs a focused öğlen menü until 15:00. The early-harvest bottle in the shop is the one to take home, not the standard line.
