Urla HillsOne day · All year
24 Hours in Urla
A single, unhurried day among the makers of the hills.
If you have only a day, spend it slowly. This is the route we give friends who land in İzmir with a free afternoon — an hour at the wheel, a long lunch among the vines, and a Michelin table as the light goes.
The day
Morning
An hour at the wheel
Begin on Urla’s Sanat Sokağı, throwing stoneware with a maker whose glazes hold the colour of the hills.
Lunch
The winemaker’s table
Up into the hills to Mozaik for a long lunch at the winemaker’s table, between dry-farmed vines and the gulf.
Evening
Dinner at OD Urla
Close at OD Urla — Michelin-starred, farm-to-table — as the light goes over the peninsula.
