Çeşme is a holiday paradise that fascinates its visitors with its natural beauties. Especially its public beaches and untouched bays waiting to be discovered are indispensable for those looking for a peaceful and quality seaside holiday. It offers an atmosphere where you can spend time with your family, your lover or just your group of friends with peace of mind. Of course, it is difficult to guarantee the same experience on every beach, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that it is one of the last bastions of civilization in Turkey.

Ilıca Beach

With its white sandy shores stretching for about 2 kilometers, Ilıca is one of the most popular beaches in Çeşme. It attracts attention not only with its beauty but also with its thermal waters bubbling from the sea. With this feature, it turns into a giant natural thermal pool. Since the coastline is quite shallow, it is also safe for families with children. In addition, these thermal waters, which increase the positive effects of sunlight on health, bring Ilıca to a very special place when combined with comfortable accommodation opportunities. This beach, which is known worldwide, is considered one of the seven best beaches in the world.

Altınkum Beach

Located south of Çeşme, Altınkum Beach is only 10 kilometers from the center. Famous for its fine golden sands and cool waters, this beach is perfect for those looking for relief in the summer heat. While it offers a calm sea experience with its structure closed to the northern winds, the water temperature is slightly lower due to its open sea view. It is a popular spot for vacationers with its wide beach and cleanliness.

Pırlanta Beach

This beach near Çiftlikköy is a spot where wind and waves are never lacking. Named after its dazzling sands, Pırlanta Beach is one of the indispensable addresses for surfing enthusiasts.

It has also been a frequent destination for international surfers since 1999.

Boyalık Beach

Boyalık Beach, located between Ilıca and Çeşme center, is approximately 2 kilometers long. An alternative route for those who love the tranquility of Ilıca.

Alaçatı Çark Beach

Çark Beach, located at the end of Altınkum, is one of the beaches that adorn the windy shores of Alaçatı and offer a tropical atmosphere.

Spending time among colorful sailboats is an enjoyable experience in itself, even if you don’t go swimming.

Alaçatı Piyade Bay

Located right next to Çark Beach, this bay offers a holiday area that appeals to different budgets, both because it is open to the public and because it has beach clubs.

Although the sea is a bit cold and the bottom is pebbly, it is a unique stop for those looking for peace.

Kleopatra Bay

Cleopatra Bay, which takes its name from the fine structure of its sand and its natural beauty, is located right next to Delikli Bay. Surrounded by natural stone formations, the sea is a different experience. The shade created by the steep cliffs is perfect for those who want to protect themselves from the heat.

Eşek Island

This island, which can be reached by a one-hour boat ride, stands out with its clear sea and natural life. The island is covered with maquis vegetation and the donkeys roaming freely provide fun moments for holidaymakers.
