Ferdi Baba
Çeşme's fish-and-meze institution since 1981
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Founded at Aya Yorgi in 1981 and now anchored in Çeşme Marina, Ferdi Baba is the peninsula's classic fish-and-meze house: point-and-choose counters of cold and hot meze and a fish display on ice, eaten over the marina and fortress view. A genuine institution of the summer-society table.
