Alibey Island

Cunda AKA Alibey island is a very nice place to spend some vacation or just an evening for dinner or stroll for shopping for knick knacks. İt has grown exceptionally in the last few years and became very expensive along the way. The place has an authentic Greek village air which actually was a Greek settlement before WW1. Having been grown up in Ayvalık İ remember this place as a place where we used to come for swimming and getting just a cup of tea in the cafés along the waterfront. Now of course it is nearly unrecognizable with all the development of villas and commercial establishments like hotels and restaurants. Still despite this, it still keeps that charm of authentic Mediterranean small village atmosphere. A definite place to spend some time if you don't mind the crowds and expensive fish restaurants with some gerek music as a bonus.

definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. lovely restaurants and cafes. great bays and beautiful sun sets!

It was a great day to enjoy in here. I highly recommend everyone to spend some time here.

Very interesting place. Old small houses. Better to visit in April.

Morning walks before the sunrise are my favourite things to do🥂

Nice lor desert with ice cream can be found. Nice turkish coffee is available. Nice Ayvalık toast is available. prices are a bit abover average.

Cunda Island is a beautiful and peaceful getaway where history and nature come together. Its charming stone streets, historic Greek houses, and seaside cafés create a magical atmosphere. Perfect for those looking to relax, enjoy delicious food, and take in stunning sunset views. A true hidden gem in the Aegean.

Getting far too commercialised every year. We used to love this area , now it's like ridden by restaurants cafes. Nothing natural left. Shops Shops Shops and more shops. Not going there anymore.
