Ayvalik Sahil Seridi Marina

Ayvalık Sahil Seridi is a lively waterfront strip hugging the Aegean coast, where you can moor up and step straight into the bustle of one of Turkey's most charming olive-oil towns. The nearby Setur Marina is currently mid-renovation, so expect some construction in the area, though the staff are known for being genuinely helpful. From here you're well-placed to hop over to Cunda Island or explore Ayvalık's Greek-influenced old quarter, full of stone houses and good meyhanes.
