The owner, Mr Selçuk Ayan is a retired pro from the auditing business years ago. This place was his dream to come true. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner in Maya and welcome to the groups. A day in advance reservation is must! (If you are a vegeterian, you need to specify that at the time for reservation. Mr. Ayan can prepare platters with beans or vegetables for vegeterians) We were there for dinner, which is started with cheese plate and ham. Then we had 3 different vegetable platter with olive oil. Artichoke was our favourite one among them. It is flavoured with a touch of nutmeg, dried apricot and pistachio. Grilled meatball was delicious. Dinner continued with charcoal-grilled entrecote and end with either cheesecake or custard. I would definitely recommend this place to spent a special night in Bozcaada. Oh, by the way, they accept only cash! * Maya, sahibi Selçuk Ayan'ın uzun yılladır hayalini kurduğu bir mekan. Bağların arasında saklı bir lezzet durağı. Peynirleri ve ekmeklerini kendi yapan Selçuk bey, şarapları da bölgedeki üreticilerden sağlıyomuş. Slow food için özel üretimleri %30 keçi, %70 koyun peynirleri ise dereceye girmek için gün sayıyormuş. Özellikle akşam yemeğinde tattığımız zetinyağlı enginarı şiddetle tavsiye ederim. Muskat ve kuru kayısı tadını aldığınız enginarın içerisinde fıstık da var! Zeytinyağlı fasulyede ise tarçın tadı! Vejeteryan iseniz mutlaka, bir gün önceden rezervasyon yaparken belirtmeniz gerekiyor. Size özel bakliyatlardan hazırlanmış yemekleri de mevcut. Mangalda pişirilmiş köfte ve antrikot sonrası alışık olduğumuz tadın dışında bir cheese cake ve damla sakızlı muhallebi de tatlı olarak sizleri bekliyor. Cheese cake çok sevmeme rağmen pek bana hitap etmedi. Yemekler ortaya geliyor ve herkes için bir kaşık tatmasına imkan tanıyor. Eğer dolu dolu yemekten hoşlanıyorsanız, doymadan kalkabilirsiniz beyler :) Ben her tür yemeği tatmaktan hoşlandığım için bana hitap ettiğini söyleyebilirim. Yemek sonunda ödemenizi nakit yapıyorsunuz aklınızda olsun. Selçuk bey her masa ile oldukça ilgili. İsteğinizi arzunuzu kendisi ile paylaşmaktan çekinmeyin. Mayıs ortası açılıyor ve Ekim sonuna dek açık kalıyormuş mekan, hatırlatmakta fayda var.

Either it was a buffet, or you got your lentil soup and then kebab, rice and fries. Not that I didn't like the food but it was the same OVERRRR and over. So, this spot was great because we were about to have that same option, chicken or beef kebab, rice, fries etc, but our guide was able to ask if we could have fish - even if we paid more. They gave us fish complimentary which was so nice and we had very tasty fried sardines, the little ones where you can just chomp on it even with the bone. It was so nice to have something different!

From the outside the restaurant did not look very inviting but it seemed to be fairly clean. Also as I walked inside the restaurant the smell of cigarettes was in the air. Personally I would not have chose a cigarette scented restaurant but the lunch meal was included in the tour. I did sit down for the meal and was pleasantly surprised. Everything was delicious.
