The porcelain plates are enough to have us swooning over Limon Gümüşlük, but the magic really begins when the sun begins to set on the horizon as the mezze is whisked to your garden table. An oasis if we ever did see. 

Ask for a table on the patio for views out onto the cove in Gumusluk. The grilled seafood and local catch of the day are the go-to's at this place, though their crisp house white never disappoints. 

When breakfast calls, a mezze feast at Asmalı Çardak is exactly what we crave. Sit under the flower-filled courtyard and graze on everything and anything from fresh fruit salads, freshly baked breads and pastries and flavours galore. Making mornings all the bit more worthy!

When we're not thinking about the halloumi wrapped up in vine leaves, we're dreaming of that grilled dover sole. It's fair to say that the mezze and seafood at Papillon makes for a fine evening feast.
