Cesme

This popular holiday resort on Turkey's westernmost tip, Çeşme occupies a peninsula in İzmir Province with a walkable centre full of cafés and restaurants. The town's name means "fountain," a reference to the Ottoman fountains scattered across it, and it sits a short drive from the Aegean coast. A six-lane highway connects it to İzmir to the east, making it accessible as both a destination and a day trip.
