About 6km south of Ayvalik, SARIMSAKLI (literally "Garlic Beach") is a resort development accessible by dolmus or municipal bus. Across the bay from Ayvalak, the island of CUNDA (aka Alibey ) is also a good day-trip destination, with a couple of stretches of beach on its west and north edges and some excellent harbourside fish restaurants in a quaint old Greek villlage. The best way to get here in summer is by boat , though at other times you'll have to rely on the roughly hourly bus service from Ataturk Square or a taxi across the causeway connecting Cunda to the mainland. Accommodation on Cunda includes Artur Motel on the square (tel 0266/327 1014; GBP5-10/$8-16), Atun Pansiyon (tel 0266/327 1554; under GBP5/$8) or the fam¦ly-run Altay Pansiyon further inland (tel 0266/327 1024; GBP5-10/$8-16). There's a number of campsites including Ada about 4km southwest (tel 0266/327 1211). Fish restaurants crowd the waterside, including at the Artur , while the Dinosaur Bar stages live music.
