Ayvalık, Balıkesir's Beloved Holiday Destination
Ayvalık, a district of Balıkesir, is one of the most important districts in the tourism sector. The district, which has hosted many civilizations throughout history, experiences a significant increase in its population during the summer months.
It is famous for its two- or three-story houses influenced by old Greek architecture, its hilly roads, and its narrow, dead-end streets.
Sarımsaklı Beach is renowned for its sea that does not deepen for long distances. Ayvalık, which also has many beautiful coves, is populated by people who came from the islands of Lesbos and Crete. Ayvalık is the subject of many urban legends.
Cunda Island is one of the most popular islands. We recommend that everyone who visits Cunda should definitely have tea at Taş Kahve. Other islands that attract attention include Donkey Island and Maden Island.
The Ayvalık Toast is undoubtedly one of the most famous foods of the district. Olive oil and soaps are also among the essential shopping items for tourists. Papalina Tava is another delicacy that visitors should not leave without trying.
Ayvalık is also a focal point for divers. Places like Üçtaşlar, Melina, and İncirli hide a treasure for diving enthusiasts with their pristine waters and underwater richness.
