The lady was very kind with me, although I could not speak Turkish and she could not speak English. We used a translator and she helped me find something sweet on their menu. The cake was really good (soaked in a sweet liquid)! 5 stars for service and the beautiful view.

Mekan ve ortam güzel. Ayvalık tostu ve Balıkesir'de bulabileceğiniz Özerhisar ayranı tavsiye ederim. Yiğido marka keçi sütlü dondurması da oldukça lezzetli. Yolunuz bu tarafa düşer ve çevredeki balık restoranlarından farklı bir lezzet ararsanız kesinlikle uğrayabilirsiniz. Tavsiye ederim
