With its Ottoman castle and crystal blue waters, Çeşme is a popular tourist destination on the coast of the Aegean Sea. As the capital of the Izmir peninsula – the westernmost province of Turkey – Çeşme town is rich in history and popular with locals and international tourists. It’s a prime spot for beach days, surfing and enjoying thermal baths, whose waters are known for their elemental healing properties. As a result, there are fantastic spa hotels in the area, as well as some charming period places to stay – bookable now with Culture Trip.
