Narlıkuyu Balık Restaurant

Top choice in Eastern Mediterranean


Spanning a lovely terrace on one arm of Narlıkuyu's little cove, this seafood restaurant is a delight. Seafood meals come complete with huge piles of salads and scrumptious meze, including pickled kaya koruğu, a wild vegetable growing on rocks by the shore. There's no menu, but a fish meal with all the extras is about ₺50.
