İzmir, historically
Smyrna,
is the third most populous city of
Turkey and the country's
largest port after
Istanbul.
It is located in the
Gulf of Izmir, by the
Aegean Sea. It is the capital of
Izmir
Province.
The Çesme Peninsula, lapped by the waters of the Aegean Sea, lies west of
Izmir, in Turkey's Aegean region. Çesme, meaning fountain in Turkish,
derives from the many sources of water found in the area. It is one of
Turkey's most beautiful stretches, surrounded by clear blue seas, with
landscapes of cultivated fields of aniseed, sesame and artichokes dotted
with fig and gum trees. In the un-spoilt bays you can swim in absolute
peace. The very popular holiday center of Ilica boasts an excellent white
sand beach and the outstanding facilities of the Marina . The bay here is
ideal for water sports, especially windsurfing and sailing; there is even an
International Windsurfing Race held every year in Çesme and Alaçati. The
thermal baths around Ilica are very popular; the best being located on Sifne
Bay. In 146 AD the Greek geographer Pausanius described these mineral
springs as the ‘sea springs’ and claimed that their therapeutic effects were
superior to any other spa in Ionia. They relieve rheumatism, inflammation of
the joints, partial paralysis, digestive complaints, and infections of the
spine marrow.
Climate of Cesme
The region of Cesme has a typical Mediterranean climate and is a
wonderful destination all year round. Although the summer months are from
April to October, the area is blessed with the cooling Imbat breeze, which
blows off the Aegean Sea, so even the hottest months of July and August are
really quite pleasant.
