Fodor's Expert Review Sızma Han

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

This hotel's unrivaled setting on Ayvalık's serene waterfront allows you to enjoy a fortifying glass of wine by the glistening sea without having to leave the property. What was once a century-old olive-oil factory on the town's harbor now has comfortable and modern guest quarters; a pleasant, stone-walled lounge; and a waterside deck restaurant with views across the inlet to Cunda Island. The owner, Mustafa, will do his best to make you feel at home in his unique hotel, and the quirky details of the building's restoration ensures a memorable stay.
