Ayvalik is a charming port situated amid beautiful pine woods. Nearby, the Seytan Sofrasi (Devils Table), offers a splendid panorama of the archipelago along the Gulf of Ayvalik and the little Island of Alibey (Cunda), where there are pleasant seafood restaurants. Sarmisakli Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in the area.

Ayvalik is a relatively undiscovered resort, centrally located for many of the historical sights in the region as well as being a very pleasant beach resort. During the summer season there are daily ferry services to the nearby Greek Island of Lesbos.
