Urla, Turkey 🇹🇷 | 24 hours visiting the hidden gem of the Aegean

Join us for 24 hours in Urla, Turkey, a charming coastal town just an hour west of İzmir that’s quickly becoming a must-visit destination for food, wine, art, and authentic local experiences. In this episode, we explore Urla to see what makes this laid-back Aegean town so special. From its Michelin-starred restaurants and local farmers’ market to its vibrant Art Street and historic bazaar, we experience the food, culture, and friendly locals that give Urla its unique character. Our journey begins in Cappadocia with a flight to İzmir, followed by a scenic road trip that includes a stop at the incredible ancient ruins of Ephesus. After arriving in Urla, we check into our hotel before heading out for an unforgettable dinner at Narimor, a cozy one-Michelin-star restaurant featuring an intimate 12-course tasting menu. The next morning, we explore Urla on foot, visiting the local farmers’ market, Sanat Sokagi (Art Street), and Malgaca Bazaar before ending our adventure with an incredible farm-to-table lunch at OD Urla. Along the way, we discover why Urla may be a better home base than İzmir for travelers who want a quieter atmosphere, exceptional food and wine, easy access to nearby beaches, and a more authentic taste of the Turkish Aegean. If you're planning a trip to Turkey, come along as we eat, explore, meet the locals, and discover 24 unforgettable hours in Urla! #turkey #turkeytravel #aegean #aegeancoast #turkishfood #travel #michelin #traveling #izmir #turkeytourism #turkeytrip #finedining Timestamp 0:00 Introduction 0:34 Getting to Urla 1:38 Dinner at Narimor 3:02 Saturday Market 3:31 Art Street 3:57 Lunch at OD Urla
