Aydin Gastronomy Tour


Known as the "Land of the Efeler" and home to the most beautiful, greenest and most fertile lands of the Aegean, Aydın is a unique destination that attracts attention with its cuisine as much as its nature. Located on the way to or very close to many popular Aegean vacation destinations, Aydın is a must-visit city even if you don't visit it directly. The most important reason for this is its rich and varied cuisine.

We have prepared a gastronomy tour list where you can experience the most distinguished examples of the regional cuisine in Aydın, which has a history dating back thousands of years, still preserves all its beauties, culture and nature as the first day, and is home to some of the most beautiful ancient cities in our country.

Where and What to Eat in Aydın?


The region is full of famous masters, each of whom has devoted years to the cuisine and regional flavors. As a result, it becomes quite difficult to recommend a place. However, without any prioritization or valuation, we have compiled some of the gastronomic stops that you should definitely visit when you visit the city.

Degirmen Restaurant


Değirmen Restaurant, where you can experience all the freshness of the region together, is the first place you should visit to start your day in Aydın. For a fresh, organic and green breakfast in the middle of nature:

Address: Pamukören Mahallesi Mehmet Özalp Bulvarı No: 211 Pamukören, Aydın

Baba Shakir Restaurant


Baba Şakir is one of the best addresses in Aydın, one of the two Aegean cities famous for its tandoori dishes. The restaurant offers both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and lamb tandoori is a must-try.

Address: Ata Mahallesi, Denizli Bulvarı 68/A, Merkez, Efeler/Aydın

Yenipazarli Kazim Usta


Yenipazarlı Kazım Usta is the most recommended address for pita, one of the most famous flavors of the region. We first visited the place, which is assertive in both pita and grill.
If you prefer once, you can leave the choice to the master and experience a feast of flavor.

Address: Guzelhisar Mahallesi 39. Sokak No: 11/A Adnan Menderes Bulvari, Merkez/Aydın
