Fodor's Expert Review Orchis Otel

Barbaros Caddesi 10 Sok, Ayvalik, Balikesir, Turkey

A meticulous restoration preserved many of the original features of the century-old soap factory—on a picturesque cobblestone backstreet—that now houses this hotel. Its spacious rooms are decorated with local accents, and breakfast is served in the stone-walled main hall or, weather permitting, on the quiet, bohemian back alley. The friendly staff and location within Ayvalık’s old town and steps from the sea ensure a memorable stay.
