Cesme
26.30N 38.30E.
The name Cesme means fountain, and the city was so named because
of the number of springs in the area. The Cesme peninsula extends from Izmir
westwards into the blue waters of the Aegean Sea.
Always popular with the inhabitants of nearby Izmir, Cesme has
been attracting an ever growing number of tourists from Europe. The many unspoiled
bays and isolated beaches in the area are ideal for those whose idea of a holiday
is to relax in the sun, swim and do as little as possible.
In order to avoid the maritime congestion in Izmir, Cesme has
over the last few years been converted into the main international port for
ferries arriving from
Italy and other ports in Europe. The new 6 lane highway from the port connects
Cesme quickly with Izmir and points north and south.
There is also a daily ferry during the summer between Cesme
and the nearby Greek Island of
Chios.
