Ramo'nun Yeri — a family-run table in Yahşi Garaj.

Ramazan Çığlı runs the kitchen. Cheese gözleme and menemen in the morning; homemade mantı or shrimp pilaf at noon; smoky-aubergine beef külbastı and pan-fried liver in the evening; tantuni or a bowl of kelle paça in the small hours. Whatever the hour, the table is ready.

And for those looking to cool off in the summer heat, our ice-cream stand down on the shore — the same table, reaching all the way to the sea.
