Our Story
Three Generations on the Azmak
Cennet has stood at the source of the Azmak river since 1983 — one family, three generations, the same cold, clear water.
The stone mill came first. The tables came after. In 1983 our family set them out over the water in Akyaka and started cooking whatever the Gökova boats brought in that morning. A wooden terrace was built above the current, close to the spring where the Azmak is at its coldest and clearest.
Today the third generation runs the kitchen and the terrace. Breakfast still covers the whole table. Fish is still chosen by the day, not by the card. Ducks still drift past your feet, the geese still keep order, and after dark the lights turn the river silver.
Find Us at the Head of the Azmak
İnişdibi Cd. No:54, 48650 Akyaka, Ula/Muğla. Follow the river upstream to where it runs coldest and clearest — that is where our terrace sits, out over the water.

“Ortam açık ara gittiğim en iyi ortamlardan biri; nehirde balıkların ve ördeklerin yüzmesi çok keyifli. Balıkları da aynı oranda çok güzel.”
Ege P. “Biz levrek ve güveçte karides yedik, ortaya birkaç meze söyledik. Yediğimiz her şey çok başarılıydı. Manzara çok güzel, nehirde balıkları görebiliyorsun. Garsonlar ilgiliydi, siparişlerimiz geç gelmedi.”
Havva Demet İ. “Muhteşem bir manzara. Azmak'ın tadını buradan daha iyi çıkaracağımız bir yer yok. Balık, salata, mezeler hepsi ayrı bir lezzet. Ulaşımı kolay, park yeri sıkıntısı yok.”
Mehmet Serdar K. “Adı gibi cennetten bir köşe. Doğaya ancak bu kadar yakın olabilirsiniz. Okaliptüs ağaçları altında Azmak suyunun serinliğini en yakından hissederek lezzetli yemeklerin tadını çıkarabilirsiniz.”
Neslihan K. “Azmağın en güzel yerinde. Ambiyans, hizmet kalitesi, mezeler harika. Kalamar tava, karides ve ahtapot salatası favorimiz oldu. Mutlaka rezervasyon yaptırın.”
Gökhan Y. “Ambiyans şahane. Marmaris'te yaşadığımız için misafirlerimizi kahvaltıya bu mekâna getiriyoruz. Açık hava, su kenarı, doyurucu kahvaltı. Tavsiye ederim.”

SSS
Frequently asked
Do I need a reservation?
It is strongly advised at weekends, on holidays and throughout the summer, when terrace tables over the water go first. Book online or call and WhatsApp us on +90 532 236 75 39.
Is there parking?
We are on İnişdibi Cd. No:54, at the head of the Azmak, and guests park along the lane by the restaurant. In peak season it fills quickly, so arrive a little earlier or call us and we will guide you in.
Is Cennet suitable for children and families?
Very much so — we have been a family business since 1983. Children love the ducks, the geese and the fish swimming under the terrace, and the shaded tables keep everyone comfortable in the heat.
When do you serve Turkish breakfast?
Our serpme breakfast is served through the morning, laid out across the table in many small dishes. Hours shift a little with the season, so call +90 532 236 75 39 to confirm before you set out.
How much does a meal cost?
Our menu is published with prices, so you can see the cost before you sit down. Whole fish is sold by the day's catch and by weight, so please ask for the current price when you order.
