A visit to Ayvalik is like stepping back into the past yet with your feet still firmly in the modern day present. The gentle rhythm of life in Ayvalik will soothe your soul and rejuvenate your spirits.
In the back streets, the clattering on cobbled streets of horse and carts compete with mopeds, scooters and tractors. The picturesque Ottoman architectural legacy was mostly crumbling and neglected until a few years ago when renovations by mostly wealthy Turks from Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir and increasingly Europeans, is beginning to transform the town into it’s previous glorious heritage. Although there are few sights of specific interest, a stroll around the maze of back streets is a fascinating insight into some fine Greek and Ottoman architecture.
