Grilled fish at one of the small restaurants.

[edit] Eat

Get up early and visit one of the local bakeries for a fresh loaf of Ekmek (a sourdough bread). Served hot and sometimes with butter and honey - It is a treat for the taste buds. A warm cup of tea goes well with this treat.

There is a large number of informal open-air cafes along the harbor serving deliciously fresh fish.

[edit] Drink

One of the fortified towers has turned into a cafe/bar, and is a great place to get a drink. It also has a good night scene.
