If you’re visiting İzmir, make time for Alaçatı 💙 If you’re visiting İzmir, make time for Alaçatı 💙

This charming little town on Turkey’s Aegean coast is famous for its stone houses, colourful shutters, bougainvillea-covered streets 🌸 and relaxed atmosphere.

Spend your day wandering through the old town, browsing the boutique shops, stopping for Turkish coffee ☕️ in hidden courtyards and enjoying a long lunch at one of the many cafés and restaurants. If you’re visiting in summer, the nearby beach clubs and crystal-clear waters of Alaçatı and Çeşme 🌊 are just a short drive away.

It’s the kind of place where the best plan is not having one. Just wander, get lost in the backstreets and see where the day takes you

Just five rooms, the scent of lemon trees in the air, breakfasts you’ll actually look forward to waking up for, and the kind of peaceful atmosphere that reminds you to slow down

Sometimes it’s not the biggest hotels you remember most. It’s the tiny ones that make you feel like you’ve discovered a secret. 🫶🏼

A love letter to Positano… 💌 To the colourful hou A love letter to Positano… 💌

To the colourful houses cascading down the hillside.

To mornings that begin with espresso and end with lemon granita.

To winding streets filled with bougainvillea, hidden boutiques and the smell of fresh pasta drifting through the air.

To long lunches overlooking the sea, boats bobbing in the bay and sunsets that make everyone stop and stare.

You may be busy, expensive and impossible to forget… but somehow, you’re worth every step 😍🤌🏻🇮🇹
