Çesme, Aegean Coast. Turkey.
Nearest airport: Izmir – approx 1 hour by coach.
Çesme, a sleepy fishing town, is a perfect resort if you’re looking for a quiet, laid-back holiday. The small town wraps around a beautiful blue bay, stretching out on a peninsula into the Aegean Sea.
This charming, delightful resort is made up of quaint narrow streets filled with white-wash Greek houses. A small harbour lies next to a pebble beach, offering peaceful days spent sunbathing and listening to the sea lap gently against the shore.
If you wish to visit other beaches in the area, Altinkum Beach is by far the most stunning and most popular in the vicinity. For those of you wanting exciting activities, visit neighbouring Ilica, whose gorgeous white sandy beach offers a range of watersports for adults and children alike.
If you fancy a relaxing boat trip, the Greek island of Chios lies just out to sea. Alternatively hire a yacht and travel along the coast visiting secluded beaches and coves along the way. As with the majority of Turkey’s coastlines, the Aegean Coast boasts crystal clear water, perfect for snorkelling or diving.
Just 5km from Çesme are the amazing thermal springs, a favourite spot in the area to relax and revitalise.
Some local history is evident in Çesme, with a 14th Century Genoese Castle standing proud in the centre of the town, right on the seafront. Enclosed in the terracotta walls are a small restaurant, theatre and museum.
Evening entertainment in Çesme is limited, with just a few restaurants serving local Turkish cuisine. Regional specialities include toasted sandwiches, olives and a gum called Mastic, mainly used in ice-cream and chewing gum. After dinner enjoy an evening in one of the friendly bars along the harbour, sipping cool drinks while watching the sun set on the horizon.
