After another multi-vehicle trip involving a minibus, ferry, minibus, ferry, bus and finally another minibus we arrived in Ayvalik - a lovely harbour town backed by old Greek stone houses built into the steep hills.

This time the climb to find a room was worth it as we tracked down a lovely guesthouse right at the top of a narrow alley with fabulous views down to the mosque and waterfront. Many an hour was spent on the roof terrace over the ...

I can see how this would be a lovely place to spend the summer....but it's not summer and even though it's not ...

... big season being July. And numerous ouzo distilleries are located here. Ouzo is a form of rake made from grape skins and anise. We drank our first ouzo with Kostas, a charming gentle museum guide. On Saturday night the Vrisa taverna was full of loud lively Greek men age 60 to 80.
