Alavya (Alacati, Izmir Region) 6 Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels
"Since opening in 2014, this stylish boutique hotel has appeared in boldface on countless hot lists and “where to go now” round-ups. But that doesn’t mean you’ll feel any immediate recognition with the destination — unless, of course, you’re a European-born jet-setter with your own sailboat, in which case, you know exactly what the Izmir peninsula is all about. For the rest of us: Alavya is located in Alaçatı, 45 miles east of Çeşme — which, in turn, is a coastal city on Turkey’s Aegean coast, some 400 miles southwest of Istanbul. It’s an upscale regional hot spot with Ottoman roots — think historic stone houses, white boats bobbing in the harbor, old windmills and rolling vineyards — and Alavya, when it opened, immediately became the town’s top lodging." - Tablet Hotels
