With its strategic location at the centre of Turkey’s Aegean coast - and as a port of entry - Çeşme offers immediate access to some of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful and unspoiled cruising. Crystal clear azure waters and untouched sandy beaches characterize the bays and anchorages within an hour or two’s sail, both on the mainland shore and on the picturesque Greek island of Chios, just 7.5 miles away.
50 Nm to the north lies the mountainous and heavily wooded island of Lesbos, and a similar distance to the south is Samos - one of the Aegean’s most fertile islands, where grapes, olives, figs, almonds and honey are harvested in abundance. Further afield, the destinations of Kos, Rhodes and Crete are all within a day or two’s sail. The spring and autumn seasons enjoy dry and settled weather ideal for cruising, and the summer heat is tempered by the prevailing northerly Meltemi breeze, which provides ideal sailing conditions most days from noon to dusk.
LOCAL AREA
Çeşme district is 80 kilometers from the Izmir metropolis and is the furthest point of Turkey in the west. Çeşme is surrounded by Urla in the east, Karaburun in the north and the Aegean Sea in the south and west and is 8 miles way from the Chios island of Greece. The western side of the Urla peninsula is known as Çeşme peninsula.
Around Çeşme you will find many good beaches. Elsewhere in Turkey the beaches are often stony or with rough sand, but in the Çeşme region there are fine beaches with white sand. The 2 largest beaches in the area are Ilıca and "Golden Beach" (Altınkum). Ilıca beach is probably one of the most family oriented beaches, with fine white sand and clear blue water which is relatively shallow for the first 20 meters or so. Altınkum is a little more tourist oriented, it has to be said that water at Golden beach is a few degrees colder than other beaches.
Restaurant & Cafe
There are a lot of restaurants in Çeşme. But why not try the famous Turkish kitchen ? Start your dinner with one (or more) of the many "meze" (starters), for example the "hot" Antep ezme with chili, or "cacık". Many restaurants also serve an excellent tomato soup with cheese. Almost every restaurant serves various forms of kebab, along with dishes from the international kitchen. All the way through the main street, in several side streets and by the harbour you will find good restaurants.
Çeşme Hot Springs
One of the most interesting and rare places in the world, the springs are right on the coast near the Çeşme Hot Springs beach on the Izmir - Çeşme road 5 km from Çeşme. The water temperature is around 58°C and contains sodium chloride, potassium chloride and magnesium chloride. The waters are good for those suffering from chronic rheumatism, problems arising from poor metabolism, such as gout and obesity, as well as rickets, skin conditions, gynecological disorders, and liver and urinary tract conditions. There are modern facilities in the vicinity of the Hot Springs.
ÇEŞME KALESİ
The town itself dominated by Çeşme Castle. While the castle is recorded to have been considerably extended and strengthened during the reign of Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II, sources differ as to their citation of the original builders, whether the Genoese or the Turks at an earlier time after the early 15th century capture. A statue of Cezayirli Gazi Hasan Pasha, one of the naval commanders of the Battle of Chesma is in front of the castle and the Pasha is depicted caressing his famous pet lion and facing the town square.
The battle itself, although ended in Ottoman defeat, had seen Hasan Pasha pulling out honorably after having sunk the Russian flagship Sv. Evstafii, together with his own ship, after which he had to follow the main battle from the coast before joining the capital by way of land, where he rapidly rose to become a distinguished grand vizier.
A few paces south of the castle, there is an Ottoman caravanserai built in the early centuries of the Ottoman conquest in 1528 by order of Sultan Süleyman the Magnificent, and it is now restored and transformed into a boutique hotel. The imposing but redundant 19th century Greek Orthodox church of Ayios Haralambos is used for temporary exhibitions. Along some of the back streets of the town are old traditional Ottoman houses, as well as Sakız house-type residences of more peculiar lines, for the interest of strollers.
