Sığacık
One of Turkey's first Cittaslow towns, where residents live within the walls of an Ottoman castle. Eat seafood by the harbor and browse the Sunday village market.
Sığacık lies on the coast of Seferihisar district, about 70 km by road from Çeşme. The entire village sits within the walls of a 16th-century Ottoman castle. Its stone houses, flower-lined windows and alleys have a strong atmosphere. In 2009, together with Seferihisar, it became Turkey's first international Cittaslow. There are seafood restaurants by the fishing harbor. The Sunday farmers' market sells olives, jams and handmade pasta, and the local Seferihisar orange is especially famous. It can be combined with the neighboring ancient city of Teos on the same day.
