Along with rakı, the delicious wines made from local Aegean grapes are the best accompaniment to seafood. Because of its soil and climate, the Aegean region is considered among the world’s most desirable geographies. Wherever you travel in the region, the roads will take you to centuries-old vineyards and their luscious grapes and wines. On your trip to the Aegean, you can explore these vineyards and make extraordinary discoveries. You can sample many internationally renowned Turkish wines in Urla, home to some of İzmir’s vineyard routes and Michelin-starred restaurants; in Şirince, named the “Best Tourism Village” by the UN Tourism last year; and in Bodrum, Türkiye’s premium holiday destination. Bozcaada also offers a variety of wines, including reds from the endemic Kuntra and Karalahna grapes and whites from Çavuş and Vasilaki. Urla, known for its vineyards, offers local grape varieties like Bornova Misketi and delicious wines made from Foça Karası and Gaydura grapes, which have been saved from extinction through reproduction.
