Every stone of the village is built with yellow stones quarried from neighboring Nusratlı, so you feel as if you are wandering through history. At the very center of this village is the Erguvanlı House, which attracts attention with its naturalness and authentic air. Welcoming you with the warm hospitality of Mr. Yakup and Mrs. Suna, Erguvanlı House is actually a restored village house. It has only 7 rooms, some with balconies, some with sea views and some with independent entrances. Each room is furnished with carefully selected antique furniture. The rooms open onto the garden and the fresh air of the Kaz Mountains welcomes you when you wake up in the morning, and watching the sunset in the evening is a pleasure.  While wandering around the village square, you may come across tarhana, jam, dried herbs, olives and olive oil produced by local people with their own hands. If you want to buy a handmade souvenir, the famous Ayvacık carpets are perfect for this job. Woven with natural dyes, these carpets are almost lifelong. If you get hungry, I recommend you to try Çetmi Dessert (apple and tahini cigarette pastry) and Manlama (minced meat pancake with yogurt sauce) in the village. For the sea, Küçükkuyu beach is only 3 km away.
