Urla
Refined Aegean food town

Urla

İzmir's gastronomic small town, with farm-to-table kitchens, a producers' market and a fishing quarter.

Urla is the small peninsula town that has become İzmir's gastronomic destination without losing its market-town feel. The restored stone streets of the old centre hold ambitious farm-to-table kitchens, bakeries and design shops, while the weekly producers' market and the nearby İskele fishing quarter keep things grounded in local seafood and Aegean vegetables. People come for a long lunch, browse, and stay for dinner. It is refined but not stiff, and it works as an unhurried day trip from the city or a base for the wider peninsula.
