Çeşme's kumru - a sesame roll pressed with sucuk, cheese, tomato and pickles - is a regional institution, and Kumrucu Şevki has been making the definitive version since 1970. The Ilıca branch sits near the shore and stays open late, serving locals and summer-house families rather than the windmill-selfie crowd. It is unfussy, honest and genuinely woven into how Çeşme eats.
