Mavi Pide is a lovely stop on the road from Marmaris to Datça or Hisarönü, just before the Bozburun–Selimiye junction. The restaurant’s original location, just after the turn, was much more basic, but the current setting is far more appealing. Tables sit beneath shady trees, and a small stream runs alongside them. For a restaurant so close to a main road, the atmosphere is surprisingly pleasant. Even so, the real reason to come is the excellent variety of pide.
Some regulars recommend the chargrilled aubergine pide, but I went for my usual choices: minced meat and cheese. Both were excellent. The dough was baked properly, and the ingredients were fresh and full of flavour. If you enjoy pide or other bread-based dishes, this place is well worth a stop.
