Walking in the shadow of the stone houses of people flock to the mind what does not ! For example, the ancient name " to Agrillum is" . Ottoman period, the name has changed, because of the tribes who settled here Alacaat'ı " Alacaat'ı is" .
After a cup of coffee when you are sitting next to you in Alaçatı old will tell you the history like a fairy tale : He heroes of fairy tales , from the island of Chios is a Greek youth who came to work here . Who were the olives , wine grapes cut some of the bonds , with whom he now works in the construction of individual houses had stone repaired .
