Mars Cafe
Situated right next door the the Dolmuş Station in Gümüşlük is a small strip of businesses, that includes the local Fish Market and the Mars Cafe.
At the time of this post, I haven’t bought fish from the market or visited the Mars cafe – so can’t personally vouch for either, but if you have a short wait until the next Dolmuş – why not give the Mars cafe a visit, and post your review.
See the Comments section for some glowing reviews:
Update: June 10th, 2011
I had a walking tour of Gümüşlük recently, and took some additional photo’s of the Mars Cafe. It looks like a good location to hang out, if you want to avoid some of the frantic-ness of the harbour side restaurants. It has a big bar, and some upstairs tables.

If you’re looking for a warm welcome and excellent value this is it! Situated next to the ‘dolmus’ station, the Mars Cafe is probably the friendliest establishment in the fishing village. They serve a variety of dishes including vegetarian options, all at very competitive prices.
Mariette and her Turkish husband run the café; it’s more of a bar and restaurant really. Mariette is a very friendly ‘front of house’ host and will even teach you the rules of Backgammon if you want to use one of the boards available for guests.
It’s not exactly a prime position, but makes up for its lack of beach / harbour front with good old-fashioned hospitality and a friendly welcome. Check out their weekly steak night and buffet night and meet some new people. It is a particularly good venue during ‘off peak periods when it attracts a lot of the locals.
