Another suggestion in Ulamış; Handre Coffee.

ULAMIS VILLAGE MANUFACTURER’S MARKET
If you are visiting the villages of Seferihisar, producer markets should definitely be on your list.. If you ask what is a producer’s market, we learned this concept with Sığacık, another village of Seferihisar.. Producer markets, where the local producers are supported, where fruit, vegetables and dairy products produced in the village, meals and pastries cooked at home are sold, is one of the best projects of Seferihisar in our opinion.. If your trip coincides with today, you can shop for fresh fruit, vegetables, cheese and bread here.. Of course, don’t expect a big market area as in Sığacık.. A few models have arrived.

Karakılçık is the name of the wheat from which bread is made, and Karakılçık wheat is our ancestor wheat.. Thanks to this wheat, which was found as a seed in a house in Gödence village of Seferihisar in 2011, these nostalgic breads are now made in Ulamış and Turgut with the support of Seferihisar Municipality and sold in bakeries and in the producer’s market.. The municipality is responsible for the production and harvest of Karakılçık wheat, and the villagers are responsible for the production of bread.. Karakılçık bread is one of the most special flavors not only of Seferihisar but also of İzmir.
Another outstanding flavor of Ulamış is the local Armola cheese.. Armola is actually a dairy product produced by re-mixing the leftover cheese residues from making Tulum cheese with milk..
