Cesme is located on the west coast of Turkey, where the Mediterranean and Aegean seas meet. Its fine sandy beaches and crystal clear water make this historical town a must-go destination for a relaxing seaside break. Ipekyol hotel is right behind Cesme fortress, in the heart of the old district. It is the starting point of a journey full of discovery.

Let yourself guide through the city…

A stone’s throw from the hotel, the pedestrian shopping street is lined with small restaurants where you’ll sample the local gastronomy. Spend a day visiting the fortress, dating back from the 16^th century and renovated as a museum. The church of Aya Haralambos is another must-see landmark, and doubles as a cultural centre which hosts regular art exhibitions.

  Should you crave for a day cruise, the St Mary wooden schooner will take you on-board for a delightful day at sea. You can also unwind on one of the neighbouring beaches of Ilica, Dalyan or Altinkum. Small shuttle buses called Dolmus will bring you there.
