Classic in Çeşme

Ayşenur Mıhçı's farm-to-table Aegean room — the only Michelin Bib Gourmand and Green Star on the peninsula

Michelin Guide-listed family osteria a few streets from the castle, serving day-boat fish and meze without the marina markup

The 1975 Dalyan harbour fish house that defines what a Çeşme balık restoranı should taste like

The Kabak family's marina-side outpost where the day's catch is read off a board and the rakı arrives without asking

Türkiye's first lobster restaurant — Tuğrul Erol's Çiftlikköy room since 1974 and Vedat Milor's consistent Aegean pick

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