CESME

You find the Cesme peninsula at the most western point and ½ way down the Aegean coast of Turkey. It is less than one hour drive from the City of Izmir and Adnan Menderes International Airport.

Cesme is renowned for blue Seas and golden beaches, which range from crowded to secluded. There are about 20 of them spread around the peninsula, so transport is necessary to get to. You can use the public “Dolmus” (minibus) service or take a Taxi or you can hire a car or motorcycle for the day and explore the peninsula at your own pace and convenience.

Cesme town itself is a “compact” and “bustling” collection of Souvenir, Leather, Carpet, Clothing, Footwear and Jewelry stores punctuated by bars, discos, restaurants, coffeehouse’s and ice cream stalls. There are also a fair number of Pharmacies (Eczani) around so you can take on extra supplies of Sun Tan oils or After Sun balm in case you “overdo it” in the first few days of your vacation.

The central waterfront stretches from the yacht harbor to the south and a public beach to the north with the Castle taking center stage. It is mainly a collection of hostelries and Travel Agencies but you also find there the Tourist Information Center and the Ferry Port for day trips to the island of Chios and a Tourist Police Station in case of any emergency.

A casual visitor should have little trouble finding accommodation. Cesme boasts over 10,000 tourist hotel beds, ranging from small and friendly pensions to 5* luxury hotels or holiday villages to match every budget. There are plenty of travel agencies around ready to help and of course the ubiquitous Taxi drivers who will always behave friendly towards you. For the really adventurous ones among you, ' the walk the streets and ask method ' works well too.
