For a small place that not many people have heard of you might be surprised to hear that last year Dikili hosted peaqce talks between Turkey and Greece. Opposite the Greek island of Lesbos and located in the Northern Aegean, Dikili has an unusually good relationship with Greece. This might be explained by history as Dikili was previously inhabited by Greeks and many family ties still remain. On Tuesdays the Greeks come over via ferry to shop in the local Dikili market which European prices have not pushed up and the two nations spend some with each other. The inhabidents of Dikili provide a great example of how barriers can be broken down which can only help Turkeys European dreams.
