Kavala

Çanakkale


The outdoor terrace of this extremely friendly place on the northern stretch of the kordon is always packed with locals, so you should book ahead to secure a table or be prepared to sit inside. The decor is Greek-island style, but the food is traditional Turkish, with all the usual meze and fish standards on offer.
