2 Best Nightlife in The Turquoise Coast, Turkey

A well-chosen selection of high-quality Turkish wines, a pleasant bar staff, and cool jazz on the stereo make up for this little spot’s odd location in a small shopping mall. Cocktails are on the menu as well, and during the day, it’s a café—one of the rare places in town making proper espresso drinks. Dal doesn’t stay open late (only till 10 pm), but it’s a mellow alternative to the often noisy tourist bars lining Maraş Cad.

Part of a small Turkish chain of café-bars (the first one was in Eskişehir), Varuna Gezgin has a cozy multistory interior lined floor-to-ceiling with books and travel-related ephemera. It also has a big back garden, making it a suitable option for all seasons. There’s an international menu and a good list of local beers.
