Beautiful pizza to share for about £4, it's not only Italian food served here they have a full range, why not take a browse through the online menu.

Santana's, Bella Mamma's and Cheers are excellent restaurants.

Although there is a huge variety of international cuisine on offer, you really should try the local Turkish food - we’re positive you’ll be back for more! Turkish cuisine is exceptionally varied, making extensive use of the fabulously fresh fruit and vegetables that are grown all over Turkey. It’s an easy place to be a vegetarian, but excellent lamb, fish and cheese are available everywhere.

The citrus fruits are a local speciality, but the cherries, peaches, apricots and figs are unlike anything you have ever tasted before. There are hitherto unseen delights to try – the small plums called maltepe, for example, or pistachio nuts freshly roasted that day. As well as the easily recognised kebabs and salads, there’s Borek - little filo pastry parcels filled with cheese and Pide - the Turkish equivalent of Pizza.

And when you’ve finished try a little Turkish Coffee... fiendishly strong the deceptively small cup can help keep you going into the early hours.

And talking of the early hours, as well as wonderful local food there are local drinks to try - get into the holiday spirit with the local aniseed bombshell called Raki which is taken with ice and water, the very good Efes beer, or the surprisingly good Turkish wines which are far from expensive.
