After a long time, I am happy to spend a night in Ayvalık and taste the unique appetizers of Cunda, and embrace the peace and tranquility against the sea at night.

Cunda Island is a place you should visit at least once in your life. You should walk through the incredible streets that smell as much history as the richness of its cuisine and inhale the fragrant smell of the past.

One of the best examples of Cunda cuisine, you should definitely try fava, herb platter, curd pastry, sole with soy sauce, cheddar kidonya, paçanga pastry and of course stuffed zucchini flowers. I'm not even talking about fish :)

I was able to edit some of the 2000 photos I took. I will share some of them with you in every recipe about Cunda cuisine. Love…
