Workation in Ayvalık: the essentials
Ayvalık is an old Greek olive-oil town on Turkey's North Aegean coast, all cobbled lanes, converted stone warehouses and churches turned mosques, facing the Greek island of Lesbos. The causeway-linked island of Cunda adds a second historic centre with seafood tavernas, and Sarımsaklı beach to the south is a long sandy strip. In the last few years Istanbul creatives have bought and restored houses here, so there are galleries, a design festival and better cafés than the town's size suggests, though coworking is still limited to one small space. Rents are modest, internet is fine in restored buildings, and Balıkesir's Koca Seyit airport is about 30 km away with Istanbul and Ankara flights. Winter is windy and quiet; summer brings Turkish holidaymakers.
