This place has a long history! Its changed a lot over the years. Its appearance, lay out, signs,…read moreetc all changed. Its normal, every place that becomes more popular does go through this. However, one thing that made this place special and continues to do so is the music database and vibe. No matter how much you paint and straighten the edges you know you are walking into a rock bar. If you are lucky to get the attention of the DJ/owner, you will definitely be talking to a man with a great knowledge of music. I learned a lot of what I appreciate in rock/metal today thanks to his recommendations and ideas. Other than that, place every drink to offer that you can find any where. :) As you can see, you go to visit this place for the music temple it stands for! Rock on!

Excellent restaurant and for the price was an amazing experience. If you can afford a nice evening…read moreout while in the Alaçatı go here. The staff was very accommodating even with my unruly 3 year old not wanting to cooperate. We sat outside on the balcony overlooking a beautiful garden and pool (presumably part of the Alvya Hotel which the restaurant is part of). After dinner, we were greeted by the owner and the chef and he thanked us for visiting. I thanked him for a great dinner and he was even nice enough to take my son on a quick tour of the kitchen ;) when we return to Izmir again, we will definitely go back. Teşekküller Mitu staff. ;)

Really good shots! Very crowded. The shot bar par excellence…read moreserves shots with fresh ingredients and has good music - from funk to pop rock. They also have Silent Disco that starts around 1:00 AM. Very funny!

From the owner: Tektekçi has many exclusive recipes in 12 different categories, being Sweet, Bitter, Sour, Hard,…read moreBitter Sour, Bitter Sweet, Classics, Straights, Ottoman Sorbets, Tektekçi-Make Vodkas, Non-Alcoholics and Frozens. These unique tastes are sometimes served in test tubes, jam jars, syringes, baloons, funnels, sometimes in the liquor bottles and glasses you see at your grandmother's, and sometimes in classic shot glasses. In Alaçatı guests enjoy silent disco concept everyday after the music stops in town at 1 am.

Veli Usta is one of the three famous ice cream spots in Çeşme…read more I tried the mango (which didn't taste as full bodied as I expected), their mastic (which I enjoyed much more than Reyhan's version), and their blackberry (which was incredibly rich and unmatched in flavor). I will say that I overall prefer Veli Usta because I find their ice cream to be softer. It doesn't freeze as hard as Reyhan's so it's easier to scoop. Their mastic is also richer than Reyhan's although Reyhan's ice cream box is a bit more insulated and nicer. All in all, if you're in Çeşme, Veli Usta is not to be missed, especially if you like strong ice cream flavors.

Locally owned must visit ice cream parlor in Çeşme. Flavors rock my world: balbadem (honey roasted…read morenut), elma tarçın (apple cinnamon), caramel, bluesky (italian caramel), nutella... Staff are very kind traditional handsome guys from Izmir. They are a breed of dude special to this part of Turkey.
