History & cultural identity

Burhaniye, spectacularly set along sun-drenched golden sandy beaches and olive-grove plains of the Edremit Gulf in western Balıkesir bordering Ayvalık and Edremit, holds an ancient Aeolian Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman architectural, and world-class olive oil history. Known anciently as Lyrnessos or Kemer Edremit under antiquity, the town flourished as a maritime and agricultural hub. In the modern era, Burhaniye developed into one of the Aegean's most beloved blue-flag beach resorts, famed for Ören's ancient plane trees and premium olive oil production.
