Where to go
Areas of Çeşme
Each area has its own rhythm. This is how we divide Çeşme.
Alaçatı
Stone streets, courtyard dining rooms and the peninsula's densest concentration of design-led hotels.
Ilıca
A wide shallow bay with warm springs beneath the sand — the peninsula's most family-friendly beach.
Ayayorgi
A steep-sided bay of beach clubs, daybeds and evening music above deep, clear water.
Dalyan
A working fishing harbour that turns into the peninsula's most reliable seafood dinner.
Çeşme Center
Castle, marina and ferry quay — the peninsula's practical heart and its most walkable evening.
Çiftlikköy
Shallow bays and steady afternoon wind — the peninsula's water-sports side.
Ovacık
Vineyards, low hills and a handful of quiet coves reached by a short drive.
Ildır
A slow village on a scattered bay of islets, north of the summer traffic.
Altınkum
Sand and shallow turquoise water on the southern coast — the peninsula's classic beach day.
