Eastern Mediterranean


Reputed to serve some of the eastern Mediterranean's freshest fish, this upmarket destination restaurant with a lovely seafront terrace is around 5km southwest of the centre, on the old road to Arsuz. Beer, rakı and wine mix freely with the nautical atmosphere, and it's a perfect splurge-worthy opportunity if you haven't seen the coast much during your eastern Turkey travels.
