Cunda Island, (Cunda adası) also known as Alibey Island, is situated just off the coast near Ayvalık between Çanakkale and İzmir on the north Aegean Coast. There is a road bridge that connects the Island to the mainland. The Island offers an utterly different beauty in each season and offers its visitors a colourful and memorable holiday experience. Cunda Island is famous for its glorious sunsets, seafood and animated taverns where conversations invariably continue until the early hours of the morning. Şeytan Sofrası (Devil's Table), so called because it is set on a table-shaped hill formed from lava, offers a panoramic view over the 22 islands in Ayvalık Bay. A footprint, enclosed by iron bars, is said to be that of the devil himself. 

One of the best vantage points of Ayvalık. The hill, which is perched over the &Ccedil;amlık Forestry Camp (&Ccedil;amlık Orman Kampı), is an old lava cone, and the hilltop, which is flat, resembles the traditional, low, round dining tables of the region. Some believe that an imprint on the rock, now covered with an iron cage, is the footprint of the Devil. The Devil's Feast (Şeytan Sofrası) has a panoramic view over the Ayvalık archipelago, looking down onto sounds and coves covered with pine forests. To dine at a hilltop restaurant and enjoy a drink while watching the sunset is a privilege.
