Cesme
Autorka, Travelbay
The seaside resort of Cesme is a kind of beach base for its larger neighbor, i.e. Izmir , located 85 km to the west. The city's history goes back to ancient times , when it was called Cyssus. Currently, thanks to its location on a picturesque peninsula and good communication with other parts of the country (a motorway leads to Cesme), it could develop as a typical holiday town .

On warm weekends, there are usually crowds here, due to the large number of Izmir residents. What's more, the slightly smaller Alacati located next to Cesme is an excellent base for windsurfing and kitesurfing . The winds blowing the peninsula not only allow you to catch the best waves, but are also responsible for the slightly milder climate of this corner of Turkey.
For whom?
Cesme can be a good choice if during your stay in Turkey you mainly want to relax on the beach and swim in the sun . Additionally, if you want to try your hand at windsurfing or kitesurfing , this part of the Turkish coast is perfect for it. There are many schools in the bay next to Alacati, thanks to which you will gain your first experience in these watersports.
