Edremit Gulf Travel Guide: Akçay, Altınoluk and Burhaniye

The Gulf of Edremit can easily be reduced to a list of beaches for a trip. Yet city life in central Edremit, the coast of Akçay, the old settlement of Altınoluk and Antandros, and the area around Ören and Pelitköy in Burhaniye each offer distinctly different experiences. This page was prepared so you can select the articles that suit your interests and build your own travel plan.

Which region should you start with?

For urban walks and local produce, explore the Edremit section; for seaside breaks and day trips to the surroundings, start with Akçay; for old streets and archaeology, look at Altınoluk; and for coastal life and Adramytteion, browse the Burhaniye section. Setting aside separate days for sea and nature lets you spend more time at each stop.
