Both Turkish and foreign vacationers come to Dikili for its relative calm and quiet, broken now and then by the horn of a cruise ship disembarking a crowd on its way to nearby Bergama (Pergamum).

Still, it's a pleasant place to spend a few days if you'd like some time by the sea in a place that's, well, sort of undiscovered.

The village of Çandarli, 10 km (6.2 miles) due south of Dikili, has its own small medieval fortress, and is even less discovered.
