Arven Winehouse

Alaçatı


Combining a retail store and a garden restaurant, Arven is an excellent spot to explore the best of Turkey's wine scene. There are more than 200 wines available from around the country, including from vineyards around nearby Urla, and a wide-ranging menu includes excellent pizza and pasta dishes. As a delicate starter, try the ot mücver (fritters made with local herbs).
