Fodor's Expert Review Ayvalık Rahmi M. Koç Museum

Cunda Island (Ali Bey Adasi) Specialty Museum

In an unusual historical-preservation choice, Cunda's Taxiarchis Church, a landmark dating from 1873, was wonderfully restored and reopened in 2014 as a museum that also houses an array of objects belonging to the collection of Turkish businessman and philanthropist Rahmi M. Koç. On the one hand, the restoration preserved the church's elegant neoclassical architecture and decor, as well as its religious iconography; on the other hand, the display of vintage cars and vehicles, ship anchors, nautical instruments, antique dolls and toys, and other curiosities overwhelms the space.
