Adresses in Çeşme

The 1945 İnkılap Caddesi corner where damla sakızlı dondurma was invented, a Mersin family pastane now in its third generation

Three generations of Aegean mastic worked off one Ugur Mumcu counter since 1945, sakizli dondurma, kurabiye and jams from the source

Genoese-era fortress holding Erythrai and Bronze-Age Çeşme finds

Ionian ruins and a hillside theatre above a fishing hamlet

The Çeşme kumru, made by the same family since 1970

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

Hacımemiş's mulberry-tree corner since 1963, the village's classical Turkish coffee bench, untouched by the specialty wave

The 1974 Uğur Mumcu counter where the Çeşme kumru is still pressed the way the family wrote it, tomato, sucuk, kaşar, no shortcuts
