Places in Çeşme

A neon-lit courtyard bar that runs on regulars, not reservations for show

Championship coffee by day, an award-winning bar by night, on the same counter

Where the night goes when the dinner crowd has gone home

An owner-poured bar where the cocktail list is rewritten, not reprinted

Istanbul's award-winning roaster, seasonally transplanted into a stone house

Stone-walled Hacımemiş room where wine, jazz and Aegean cooking share the same evening, Ozan Musluoğlu directs the music

Modernised ocakbaşı with a Nişantaşı pedigree, transplanted to the marina with mixologist-led cocktails and grilled meats by the water

All-day kitchen on the yacht slips, French-leaning breakfast through midnight cocktails, run by a working chef line rather than a brand operator

Polished Aya Yorgi cove daytime that turns DJ-led after dark, Tayu sushi kitchen on site, the contemporary half of the cove's beach-club pair

Small candlelit cocktail room off 2000. Sokak, handcrafted drinks, low volume, the closest the village gets to a proper speakeasy

The Hacımemiş garden-cocktail format done at scale, kitchen runs all day, bar runs late, 150 covers under the trees

Thirty-seven local boutique bottles in the village's hundred-year priest's house, fireplace, three rooms upstairs, the bar that built the wine reputation
