OVERVIEW

Çeşme stands at the western end of a broad peninsula, with a stone fortress overlooking the harbour and modern marina. Beaches, thermal springs and resort districts are spread around the surrounding coast, while the old town contains shops, restaurants and traditional houses. Strong winds make several bays important centres for windsurfing.

The marina and central streets are lively in summer, but different parts of the peninsula offer contrasting water conditions and atmospheres. Nearby villages provide markets, vineyards and more restrained evening life. Prices and crowds rise sharply in peak season, though quieter coves remain accessible away from the principal resort beaches.
