Şeytan Sofrası, Mountain summit in Ayvalık, Turkey.
Şeytan Sofrası is a summit overlooking the Ayvalık coastline that offers expansive views across the Aegean Sea and numerous offshore islands. The elevation provides clear sightlines toward distant waters and the scattered island geography.
The name comes from ancient local mythology about supernatural gatherings said to take place on the flat rock surface at the top, earning it the title Devil's Table. These mythological origins have shaped how people have referred to the location for generations.
Local families gather here on weekends to share meals and enjoy the view together, making it a natural meeting place for the community. The summit has become a spot where people come to spend time with loved ones and take in the landscape.
A paved road winds up from central Ayvalık to reach the summit, with parking spaces available near the viewpoint area. The route is straightforward and accessible, making the visit manageable for most people.
The flat rock surface at the top naturally forms seating areas where visitors watch red sunsets over the Aegean islands from several angles. This geological feature creates an unexpected setting for observing the evening light shift across the water.
