shopping both entertaining and rewarding.

enjoy a traditional Turkish lunch at a local restaurant. Aegean cuisine
features fresh ingredients and well-loved dishes such as kebabs, mezes, and
seafood, with vegetarian options also available. Many restaurants are set near
the sea, providing a relaxing atmosphere and attractive views while you dine.
