The name of this place is Seytan Sofrasi and the meaning is The Banquet of the Devil ..It looks like arolling stones song )))
Its situate in the hill of sarmisakli beach and you can watch from the top Ayvalik,Alibey ( cunda) and the beaches of Sarmisakli.
There is huge footprint on the top and they believe that this is the foot print of the devil .But its difficult to understand why they throw money to the hole of the footprint of the devil.I ve been here many many times but I ve never have the chance to meet the devil or eat something with him .
Its a wonderful place to watch he sundown and unfortunatel its crowded nowadays ...

Gelin Kaya ( Bride Rock )

Once upon a time, a boy loves a girl. Their families try to thwart their happiness, so they run away.In feodal societies, rules works this way. Both are ordered to be killed. No chance, but to run away. They hide under a huge rock. As the armed searchers approach, according to one rumour, they become invisible.According to another, the rock suddenly starts moving and closes on the lovers. Some believe they happily sleep under the rock.
That’s why it is called the Bride Rock. According to the belief, the ones who miss their lovers touch their hands onto the rock and come together again soon.
