Trying to break out of their respective routines, the three decide to embark on a spiritual journey to a seaside town.

As the trio indulges in these sessions, they each face unresolved traumas from their families’ lives as they try their best to overcome them and break free once and for all.
Ada, Leyla, and Sevgi go through various ups and downs, but what remains constant is the fact that they have each other’s backs. In addition to the heartfelt and dramatic narrative, you might be interested in the picturesque backdrop of the seaside town the friends travel to.
Additionally, the premise of the Turkish series isn’t something that seems far from reality, as many people have unresolved traumas to deal with. So it’s natural to wonder if the drama show has any roots in reality or not. Now, know about Another Self series filming locations.

Most of the sequences for ‘Another Self’ are shot in Ayvalık, a seaside town on the northwest coast of the Aegean Sea. The city, surrounded by the Ayvalık Islands, became an ideal location for the production, as the debut season takes place primarily in Ayvalık itself.
The film crew of the Turkish series traveled around the picturesque town and filmed several sequences with suitable backdrops.

Additionally, it appears that the cast and crew used the nearby Cunda Island location for filming purposes. Also known as Alibey Island, it is the largest of the Ayvalık Islands.
In addition to Other Me, Ayvalık has served as a prominent production location for various kinds of film projects over the years. Some notable movies and TV series that feature the seaside town are “Travel Mates”, “My Father and My Son”, “Across the Sea” and “Vitamin Sensin”.

The last few scenes of the first season were reportedly filmed in Istanbul, Turkey’s largest city, which sits on both the Asian and European sides of the Bosphorus. The populous metropolis was founded in the 7th century BC and is one of the most important places in world history.
Today, it is a central cultural and economic center, home to many UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as Sultanahmet Square (or Hippodrome of Constantinople), Hagia Sophia, Suleymaniye Mosque, and Sultan Ahmed Mosque.
