Urla: The Heart of Aegean Cuisine
Urla, a small peninsula town west of İzmir, has become one of Turkey's most important gastronomy centres. With its vineyards, olive groves, seafood and farm-to-table philosophy, Urla is a place where food is not just nutrition but a way of life.
Urla Wine Route
The Urla Wine Route is one of Turkey's most prestigious wine trails. Boutique wineries dot this approximately 20km route, producing award-winning wines from local grape varieties like Urla Karası and Nero d'Urla. GreenUrla is just 10 minutes from the wine route.
Olive Oil: Liquid Gold
Urla produces some of Turkey's finest olive oils. Early harvest, cold-pressed oils with high polyphenol content — antioxidant powerhouses.
Seafood & Wild Herbs
Urla's fishing harbours offer the Aegean's freshest seafood. The region's wild herb culture — purslane, chicory, rock samphire — forms the backbone of Aegean cuisine.
Farm-to-Table at GreenUrla
GreenUrla's kitchen runs on zero-kilometre philosophy: vegetables, fruits, herbs and olive oil from our organic farm. Every meal is personalised, functional and served at the communal long table — our strongest ritual, inspired by Bali retreats.
