The restaurants on the promenade at Atlas Marina will serve Turkish food exclusively; European cuisine will be available at the hotel restaurant. We have offered a guide here to give an idea of the kinds of food on offer Turkey.

Turkish food is particularly varied; there is something for every palette. Turkish ingredients are very comparable to the rest of the Mediterranean, lots of fresh vegetables, fish, olive oil and yoghurt. Turkish food is pleasantly spicy, although almost never too hot, even for the Northern European.

Restaurants and Cafés.

• Kahve - serve only tea (çay) and Turkish, unfiltered coffee.
