Ali'nin Yeri Ildırı Balık
On the water's edge of antique Erythrai, three generations of family balıkçı in the peninsula's quiet north
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed May 2026
Ildırı is a small fishing village; Erythrai's antique city sits just above. Ali'nin Yeri stands on the harbour edge, a classic Çeşme fish house run for three generations by the same family, stone-walled room, tables touching the water, sunset framed by the Sakız silhouette to the west, historically a postcard. Octopus and calamari are second-nature work; the meze line is long, the fish is from the day's boat. By August Istanbul yacht traffic has found it and the price reflects that, but in May and September it is still the quiet escape Çeşmeli yazlıkçıs reach for.
Editor's Tip
Late May or early September, a dinner here is the peninsula's quietest north-coast rakı table. August yacht traffic raises the price; pick the shoulder weeks. Phone two hours ahead and ask for a water-edge table.
