When I was there with some friends from Turkey, we went to Ayvalik, a costal town across from the Greek Island of Lesvos/Lesbos. It was quite rual and beautiful and the location of a few summer homes for wealthier Turks. We ate fresh calimari caught right while we were eating.

Yeah, I’ve been to Ayvalik which is nice too – though it does cater to local tourists, but I feel that the impact of ugly local tourism can be seen more than at places like Butterfly Valley or Olympos.
