This restaurant has the best gözleme I’ve ever tasted. The owner and his workers are absolute the best and most friendly people I met in turkey. We came twice in three days with 45 minutes drive because it is so good!!

If you trip Muğla - Aydın cities' road you must stop here for view Bafa Lake, for breakfast or for lunch. Traditional Turkish bakery "gözleme" varieties, English breakfast, Mediterranean breakfast or others you can stop. Clean area, fast service, large parking area.
