Tosmur – a small, peaceful paradise on the coast, nestled between Oba and Kestel. It is a place where the Mediterranean gently washes up on the shore and the Dim Çay River, with its well-known floating restaurants, attracts both locals and tourists from all over Turkey. Here, life is relaxed and far from the hustle and bustle, yet close enough to dive into the lively happenings of Oba ever desired.
A Typical Day in Tosmur
Imagine waking up in your cozy home as the first rays of sunlight filter through the windows. The scent of fresh Ekmek(white bread) draws you to the small bakery around the corner, where warm loaves go straight from the oven into your hands. Back home, you enjoy a hearty breakfast on the balcony with a view of the sea or the gentle hills.
After breakfast, you grab your towel and take a leisurely stroll to the nearby beach. In Tosmur, everything is within walking distance – no long routes, no need for a car. After a few hours in the shimmering waters of the Mediterranean, you return home refreshed. Perhaps you feel like taking a nap or reading a book while the afternoon drifts by peacefully.
In the early evening, the air cools pleasantly, you take a walk along the Dim Çay River. The nature here is breathtaking: the gentle murmur of the water, the soft breeze from the mountains, and the occasional laughter from the cafés and restaurants along the river create a perfect atmosphere.
When hunger strikes, it's time for dinner at the local hidden gem: Et Restaurant Ali. The Adana Kebab here is particularly juicy, served with fresh side dishes and homemade Ayran. Neighbors greet each other warmly, the atmosphere is familiar, and the food tastes as if it was made with love.
Peaceful, Idyllic, Yet Well-Connected
Tosmur has a small but charming infrastructure: small supermarkets, local markets for daily needs, and restaurants offering honest, traditional cuisine. No luxury, no frills – just authenticity and serenity. If you're looking for more variety, Oba, with its modern amenities and lively beach clubs, is just a short walk or a few minutes by bus away.
Tosmur is ideal for those who long for a slower pace of life without giving up proximity to the city. Whether for investment, a holiday home, or a permanent residence – this place combines the best of beachside living, nature, and traditional daily life.
