Mercan Restaurant

This friendly and popular waterside restaurant also happens to be the oldest show in town; it dates back to 1956, when the owner's father did the cooking. Fish and meat dishes are staples on the traditional Turkish menu, but Mustafa (the son) has added his own special touch, creating fragrant dishes using local herbs.

The Mercan Special
-- a split roast lamb marinated in wine and spices
-- is a tender and rare treat.

Try the grilled swordfish kebap for a lighter, but no less filling or fulfilling, meal.
