Walking Ayvalik in winter is a totally different experince. In winter time even bus most popular streets are silent and less crowded. Coastal walk path called kordon in tranquile and waiting for the coming summer season.
During Ottomans Ayvalık had a flourishing olive-oil-production industry and the chimneys of the old factories can still be seen about town. In modern times production has revived in a smaller-scale boutique format.
Daily ferries operate between Ayvalık and Mytilene on nearby Lesbos Island, Greece, during the summer with a reduced service in winter. The nearest airport to Ayvalık is Balıkesir Koca Seyit Airport (EDO) near Edremit.
Today, the population of Ayvalık is close to 80,000, which significantly increases during the summer due to tourism. Ayvalık and its environs are famous for high quality olive oil production, which provides an important source of income for the local population. Ayvalık and the numerous islets encircling the bay area are popular holiday resorts. The largest and most important of these islets is Cunda Island which is connected to Lale Island, and thence to the mainland, by a bridge and causeway built in the late 1960s. This was the first bridge in Turkey to connect lands separated by a strait. Both Ayvalık and Cunda Island are famous for their seafood restaurants which line the seashore.
Two former churches (now mosques) in historic centre of Ayvalik.
Ayvalık also has two of the longest sandy beaches - Sarımsaklı and Altınova beaches - in Turkey which extend as far as the Dikili district of İzmir nearly 30 km (19 mi) to the south. In recent years, Ayvalık has also become increasingly attractive to scuba divers.
The ruins of three important ancient cities lie within a short drive of Ayvalık: Assos and Troy are to the north, while Pergamon ( Bergama ) is to the east. Mount Ida (Turkish: Kaz Dağları), which played an important role in ancient Greek mythology and folk tales, is also near Ayvalık and can be seen from many points in and around the town centre.
The Gulf of Edremit and the coastal resort towns of Dikili (near ancient Atarneus) and Foça (ancient Phocaea) are also within driving distance for daily excursions.
The town has a hot-summer Mediterranean climate with mild, rainy winters and hot, dry summers.
