Ilıca Beach is a spacious and family-friendly destination with a broad shoreline and shallow waters, making it ideal for children. Visitors can enjoy various amenities such as eateries, chairs, and umbrellas. Known for its warm water, Ilıca Beach holds the prestigious Blue Flag status.
Beautiful beach!!! Why go to the Greek Islands when you have beaches like this in Türkey. I am quite impressed. I stayed in the town of Cęsme and now wish I had booked a hotel near this beach. I spent more time here than in the harbour of Cęsme.

Nice beach with a cordoned off area for swimmers with azure waters. The beach itself is pretty clean although they don’t have showers and only port-o-potty’s. Lots of parking nearby with lots of locals enjoying the beach.
Krishnan R — Google review
A very clean beach with crystal-clear water. Renting two chairs and an umbrella cost 800 Turkish lira. There was no shower available to rinse off afterward. I also didn’t see any changing rooms or restrooms nearby. However, if you want a drink or something to eat, there is a shop close by. The seawater was very salty, but the sand was excellent. We built a sandcastle together, went swimming, and sunbathed—it was one of the most delightful days of my holiday. The water starts shallow and gradually reaches about 160 cm deep after several meters.
Saliha F — Google review
As many other beaches we have experienced in Turkey, also this one is full of garbage. It's quite disgusting, and a pity. There seems to be no municipal cleaning service and people are uncivilised too. The beach itself could be gorgeous, long shore, shallow water.

This beach is undoubtedly one of the best beaches we have ever visited. Its pristine, golden-white sands and mesmerizing turquoise waters create a postcard-perfect scene. The beach is impeccably clean and offers a tranquil escape with complimentary sun loungers. Our kids were in absolute heaven. A must-visit!

The water is a bit cluttered with different debris like plastic waste and parts of algae, especially while entering the water, water’s edge But then if you go deeper, it’s cleaner The beach is quite spacious, there are few toilet facilities (quite smelly truth to be told) Sand is kinda clean
Anton R — Google review
This is a difficult one, the beach in so many ways is superb. It long, sandy, shallow, the water even in late September is warm enough for swimming comfortably BUT.... Maybe it's because it's the end of the season but the beach is covered in rubbish, I mean cigarette buts, bottle caps, plastic of all sorts, I mean just so much. Ok you might say well lots of beaches have bits of rubbish on them these days but thus is the main tourist beach that is so long and wide it could easily have a tractor go up and down at night with one of those rubbish filter / trailers behind it. Such a shame.

Amusement park ride
Oasis Waterpark is a medium-sized aquapark located in Cesme. The park features a variety of water rides and attractions, including serpentine slides and a wave pool, as well as an eatery and ice cream stands. It is ideal for families with children looking for a fun day out. The price of admission is approximately $20 USD per person, and outside food or drinks are not allowed inside the park.
Great fun day, with no wait for any rides
Carol D — Google review
Good for fun. Not huge but definitely not at all a small place. Enough fun for the family, convenient, neat and definitely smart. I could go for 5 stars but I rated better places by 5 so 4.6 would be my honest opinion. To be improved: parking, place under construction aspect from outside, better umbrellas and other very minor details. But what was good: food, personnel, cleanliness. Overall a great day, keep going in the right direction.

I wanted to express my concerns regarding our recent visit to your water park. Unfortunately, I must emphasise that the time and money we invested in our visit were not justified. My family and I, comprising my wife and three children, had a rather unpleasant experience. The facilities appeared neglected, with many areas dry and unkempt. The ground was filled with small stones that made walking barefoot uncomfortable, and there was a distinct lack of greenery to provide shade from the sun. Moreover, the lifeguards seemed indifferent, often distracted with personal matters such as smoking and using their phones, neglecting their responsibilities toward the guests. This lack of discipline was alarming. In fact, while we were trying to relax, a faulty parasol fell on my wife, resulting in her sustaining an injury to her foot. Regrettably, the staff's response was inadequate; no one checked on her well-being afterward. My wife's condition worsened, and we were forced to leave the premises in frustration. I feel compelled to bring these issues to your attention in hopes that you will take immediate action to address them. This park requires significant improvements, particularly in staff training and facility maintenance. We have visited numerous water parks around the world, and this was a disappointing experience. I sincerely hope to see positive changes at your establishment.

This is another aquapark for Cesme .. It is not big but not too small .. if you come with your children I am sure they can be happy .. price is nearly 20 usd.. they do not accept any food or drink together with you .. so you have to buy all inside of the park .. price is one pizza nearly 5 usd and coke is 1.35 usd.. There are some game activities with different time period .. so it can be interesting for you or your child.. Not too much crowded from this reason water of the pool is not to much dirty .. If you want to try different aqua toys you can come this Oasis Aqua park ..

Very good aquapark, not many slides but enough to make you feel happy, the prices till today is reasonable (unless it’s raised like every thing in Turkey), 450 TL for adults and 350 TL for children above 3 years old. Children will also have fun playing in 2 separate slide places, although I suggest turning off the showers and fountains of the slides because the splash will make them uncomfortable. The food is good but too expensive (as expected) and the prohibit food entry at the gate through thoroughly checking the bags. Overall I recommend you to enjoy the aquapark while you are in Cesme or near the town for a day visit.

Very fun place. If you have kids, dont miss it. You can pay with card but you need to have at least 20tl in cash per person for deposit. If you don’t have the send you to the nearest bank to withdraw some cash. Even that we try to give euro for deposit they didn’t accept them :(

The entry is 70 lira per person with free parking. The food and drink there is expensive. There were amazing slides there such as the king cobra slide. You also get to experience very powerful waves once a day at one of the pools there. Very relaxing and nice warm water.

Alaçatı Değirmenleri is a picturesque destination renowned for its ancient stone windmills, charming cobblestone streets, and stunning panoramic views of the town. The mills are well-preserved compared to other mills in Turkey. Visitors can enjoy a peaceful stroll through the city in the morning before it gets crowded. It is also an excellent spot for lunch after exploring the streets of Alaçatı.
It gets crowded during the summer season, but since it was the end of September, the weather was nice and there weren't many people. You can spend a few hours there enjoying the restaurants and shopping.
Aiko — Google review
There's about 4 or 5 windmills here, and the views around them are great. There isn't much to see, so you don't need too much time. You can sit and enjoy the view by drinking tea or coffee.

Cesme Castle, dating back to 1508, holds a significant place in Ottoman history and offers stunning sea views. The castle served as a military fortress protecting the region from invasions. Visitors can explore defense machinery and sculptures within the castle grounds and climb its stairs for panoramic city views. Additionally, special events are held at the castle from time to time.
Çeşme Castle stands on higher ground and offers beautiful views of the sea and town. It’s a great spot for photos and a nice place to enjoy some history in a calm atmosphere.
Edward D — Google review
This castle, built by the Italians, stands on the town's seaside square. It faces the sea, overlooking the coastline, the opposite shore, and offering a panoramic view of the entire town. The entrance fee is 100 lira, but foreign tourists are charged double. The castle is made of stone and consists of three inner sections, designed for defense. Inside, there are several exhibition halls, one of which showcases the naval battle between the Turkish and Russian fleets off the coast of Çeşme. Of course, the most impressive aspect remains the Italian architectural craftsmanship.

Beautiful castle, fantastic to walk around on the high walls. Beautiful view on the harbor! Unfortunately we a little were disappointed because there was little information provided on the origin of the building and where all the rooms/places were for. So definitely a go for the view but not so much to learn.

Marina
Çeşme Marina is a modern harbor situated on the western edge of the town, offering various services for yachts and boats. The marina boasts a promenade, a shopping center, and an array of restaurants and cafes where visitors can savor delightful meals while enjoying picturesque views of the sea and sunset. Located on the Aegean coast in Turkey, Çeşme is renowned for its crystal blue seas and serves as a popular holiday resort town.
Beautiful positive port in which you can shop or eat a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner with tranquility and quality. We spent a Saturday morning walking and having breakfast in a restaurant and it is very nice to spend the day there. You have parking to park the car near the port and not worry. The village is beautiful, worth visiting.
Pablo — Google review
A magical marina for sunset strolls, seaside dining, and stylish shops! Çeşme Marina is a picture-perfect destination, especially during sunset. The golden hour here is truly something special — soft sea breeze, boats gently rocking, and the entire sky painted in warm hues. It's the perfect place for an early evening stroll. The marina is surrounded by a wonderful mix of restaurants and shops. You’ll find waterfront dining spots like Ferdi Baba (open daily until 12:00 AM), famous for its seafood and meze, and Tuval Restaurant (open until 1:00 AM) with a creative Turkish-Mediterranean menu and great cocktails. If you're craving something quick, Kahve Dunyasi serves excellent Turkish coffee and desserts (open till 11:00 PM). There are also stylish boutiques and souvenir stores, many staying open until 10:00–11:00 PM, perfect for post-dinner browsing. Whether you’re shopping for local crafts or just window-shopping, there’s a lot to enjoy. One of my favorite touches: the marina is filled with well-placed benches and quiet sitting areas where you can relax, enjoy the view, or have a peaceful conversation. It’s all thoughtfully laid out to encourage you to slow down and enjoy the moment. If you're in Çeşme, don’t miss this place. Especially during sunset — it’s unforgettable.

Sera Beach is a well-maintained and family-friendly beach with amenities such as toilets, showers, and comfortable seating under the shade of large trees. The prices for entry, food, and drinks are reasonable. The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff is attentive. While some visitors find the music too loud, others appreciate the cool tunes. The beach offers clean water in the morning and a mix of sand and stones along the shore.
This is an amazing beach club in Cesme considering how affordable it is and it is located in one of the most beautiful beaches around here. Zehra, the manager in charge, is super sweet and understanding and has totally brought the vibes up. Some may remember this place as Sera Beach but this is a completely new beach as part of the Sisus Otel and we love coming here all the time. There is no loud music, the food is good, and the water is heavenly 🙏🏼

Sea is clean and beautiful, great for swimming, just a bit stony to go in. On the entrance we were met by grumpy man collecting 650 tl/per person. We asked and he confirmed that this amount can be offset in the cafe on food and drinks. But after we had something to eat (average and expensive), we were told that 650 (€15 roughly) was for sun bed and umbrella only. What a rip off. I love Turkey but lately it's not worth going because you are constantly either overcharged or tricked one way or another. Not a great holiday feeling. Such a shame.

Very nice beach. It is very well arranged, it has toilets and showers. Good for families and for couples. Nice music. It has the chairs on grass and there are couple of big trees that give enough shadow to many people. The price is today 30 tl per person. The price of food is quite fair and it's quite good too.
Javier G — Google review
Been going there since the early 90's, when the beach only had three fishermen's shacks serving basic food and drink. The beach was very pristine, and unknown to the general public. These days, it's run by a business with somewhat shady practices. They want to incentivize people to rent their beachside chairs, so they don't clean the shoreline (which apparently is not part of their concession, and thus, in their view not their problem) - have fun entering the beautiful turquoise sea through plastic caps, bottles, and cigarette butts. Music probably is a taste thing, but when cheap music is blasting at full volume, it becomes a distraction from nature. It's a shame - used to be a paradise, now it's corrupted (at least during high season).

The beach is really beautiful. Compared to nearby beaches such as the White beach, it is cheaper, since you don't need to spend 50 euros, still the enterance fee is 60TL per person. Staff barely speak English or any other language. Toilet is outside of bar and it's in a horrible condition.

Kocakarı Plajı is a well-known yet secluded beach in Cesme. The seabed transitions from stones to sand, but it can get deep a few meters out. While the area boasts stunning natural beauty, there's room for improvement in terms of cleanliness, with scattered broken glass and sharp objects. Despite this, the water is clear and refreshing, perfect for swimming with some fish around. The public beach is free but lacks amenities like shades or beds.
A beautiful, peaceful beach I absolutely loved it! The area was calm, clean, and very nice overall. I discovered it on Google Maps and decided to give it a try, and I’m so glad I did. It was definitely worth it. I really enjoyed swimming there!

This area is beautiful, the sky, the landscape, the sea... what isn't beautiful is that it could use a clean up. There's broken glass in the sand, sharp bottle caps, etc. The actual water is great, clear, not very cold (though not what I would call warm, either). There is a lounging area next to it with chairs, umbrellas, and loungers that has some drink and food service, but it costs 25 tl to use the area (without food or drink).

Alaçatı Kumrucu Şevki is a must-visit for an authentic taste of Kumru. The place has been serving its unchanged delicious flavors for 7 years, with commendable service from Mustafa.

Although prices are slightly high, indulging in their superb dove once a month is definitely justified.

(Translated by Google) I had my first kumru experience here. It was delicious and I highly recommend trying it. They serve pickles on the side, which was also very nice. The price was 350 TL. (Original) İlk kumru deneyimim burada oldu. Tadı çok iyiydi denemenizi tavsiye ederim. Yanında turşu ikram ediyorlar o da çok güzeldi. Fiyat 350tl

(Translated by Google) The kumru was delicious. Service was fast. But while the price was 250 just behind, here it's 350, which is high. The waiters take away everything before it's finished. 4 for the sake of taste. (Original) Kumrunun tadı güzeldi. Servis hızlı. Fakat hemen bir gerisinde fiyat 250iken burada 350 fiyat yüksek Garsonlar önündekini bitmeden alıyor eksi Lezzetin hatrına 4

Seafood restaurant
Fish restaurant
Nestled in the picturesque Çeşme Marina, Ferdi Baba Restaurant is a seafood lover's paradise that beautifully captures the essence of coastal dining. With a menu brimming with locally sourced fish and shellfish, this family-owned establishment has been delighting patrons for over 30 years. The culinary team expertly blends traditional Turkish flavors with Mediterranean influences, ensuring each dish bursts with freshness and taste.
I visited this restaurant on a Monday evening, I was surprised the kitchen was still open, since we arrived at around 21:30. I can definitely recommend the shrimps and the octopus. The staff was friendly, and spoke some English. The prices were pretty expensive, but it makes sense considering the very central location next to the Cesme marina. Overall, I would definitely recommend if you are in the area!

Our hotel, Marriott Izmir recommended this restaurant and it exceeded our expectations! The host was very hospitable and showed us all the different seafood and dishes available , including various cooking options. Service was fantastic, we ordered a bottle of local Sauvignon Blanc and two types of fish, grilled and fried. The grilled local octopus was perfectly cooked and highly recommended. We were also served a dessert fruit platter and tea, what a splendid Turkish hospitality! The backdrop view of the Marina was also a highlight, it was a shame we had to rush off otherwise we could easily spend a whole afternoon here!

My favorite fish restaurant in Cesme. The service is very good, waiters are very attentive. Our waiter Halil was very helpful and friendly from beginning to end. Food is very fresh, environment is nice. It is on the expensive side but a Turkish fish restaurant experience with a beautiful view is worth it.

We visited this restaurant twice within a short time, and each experience was outstanding. The seafood was excellent, with the calamari and octopus being absolute standouts. The oysters could have been cleaned a little more carefully, but that was a minor detail. Service was fast and attentive, and special thanks go to Mr. Tuna for his hospitality. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality and atmosphere make it more than worth it. Easily one of the best seafood restaurants in the country.

food and location are very good. however, the supposedly complementary bread and olive oil was charged 100tl per person. also, the service fee is 10% of the bill, even though we ordered inside by ourselves (they don't have menus for guests). the staff is nice, but hidden charges are ridiculous. you can see our check for 2 dishes and 2 appetisers

Coming from NYC, this was a great dining experience we were looking for at a coastal sea town. You can order from the menu or chose with your eyes from the 20+ mezze options of vegetables/seafood and then fresh fish prepared anyway you want. Everything was super fresh and delicious. Prices are on the higher end for the area but worth it and great service. Lots of nice shops in the area to walk around before or after.

Restaurant
Burger King is a popular fast-food destination renowned for its delicious grilled burgers, crispy fries, and creamy shakes. Imagine enjoying your meal while soaking in a stunning sea view at sunset—what a treat! The staff here are known for their quick service and friendly demeanor, making your dining experience even more enjoyable. While the prices are reasonable, it's worth noting that there aren't any restroom facilities on-site, which can be inconvenient if you need to freshen up before indulging in your meal.
There was good place and have perfect sea view with sunset. The restaurant worker's are pretty quick for orders and polite. Good food taste. The price is average in this place. But there haven't an any toilet, it's bad because you should wash your hands before eating. You can eat in restaurant or you can eat outside restaurant with perfect view.

Long wait, a lot of flies flying around the kitchen, air conditioning was either not working or barely working. The burger was barely warm, french fries and onion rings were cold and greasy. Hızlı Burger in Alaçati has better burgers. I only stopped here to see if the burger was truly the same as in the USA. It was the same taste but since there are other local restaurants with better burgers I will not ever be coming back.

22/07/24 Cesme Marina. After waiting for sometime in a line to make my order, to my surprise I was told to go to the cashier where they normally serve ice- cream lane. I was extremely disappointed and frustrated as I turned to go to this line, I realized people after we’re waiting in the line. This meant I had another 6 people ahead of me. The young man who told me the line has changed ( who apparently is the manager) I requested he should have had a SIGN point out where the taking order registered has moved to!!!! The manger of ignoring my words in putting a sign instead repeated his words by saying the line is over there. People who were there and witnessed agreed about the sign and the manager took no notice and went on his business!!!! I would like the private owners to take charge to educate their manager. Please I would like a feed back to the end result!

This must be the worst Burger King i have seen. Totally unprofessional, filthy, dirty, stinks inside. 15min wait time on a couple of burgers at 11am. There was no customers but us, no one seemed to care that the place was filthy -floors, tables everything. This is about as far from ex-Burger King standards as it can get. Avoid at any cost. (And the veggies on out Whopper were old - not fresh)

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Delikli Koy is a picturesque beach with stunning white rock formations and crystal clear turquoise waters that offer great snorkelling experiences. The beach is easily accessible by private car, although visitors should be cautious of sea urchins and bring water shoes for protection. There are no lifeguards or umbrellas available for rent, but an amiable older gentleman sells beverages from a caravan.
This beach is a bit odd the beaten track with no amenities like loos, but let's be honest who hasn't used the sea for a No. 1 The only facility is an independent caravan which sells cold drinks, including beer and plays some great dance/trance music. Because it's odd the beaten track lol is nice and quiet and not commercial. You can drive down to the beach and quite a few people seem to camp overnight.

If this place was cleaned and then kept pristine, definitely would be 5 out of 5. But as lot of visitors smoke and throw cigarette butt in sand, it’s not very pleasant to sit there. Rocky structures are spectacular, water is clean and chilly (which is good to get some refreshment after summer sun) You have to be prepared - get your own umbrellas and beware that no toilet or shower is available nearby

What a day at this beautiful beach, granted I went on low season (end of September) so the crowd was manageable. Felt like the people there were very friendly. About the coast, CRYSTAL CLEAR WATER. It’s very shallow, you can swim 20 m from the beach and still touch the sand. Beware of sea urchins 🆘 though not an eminent risk, if you head to the cornered rocks, they are hiding underneath. Perfect spot for a sunset 🌅. You can rent a beach umbrella, the guy there has beverages and local vendors walk by with corn and mussels. One tiny downside — 😭 the amount of littered tobacco buds 🚬 how sad. I am a smoker and it isn’t hard to just throw it in the bin. There is big bins everywhere.
Dominique C — Google review
A chill spot, recommended to go with your partner or friends. Not much facilities other than trash cans and what appeared to be a small mobile bar. No lifeguards either. The water is clear and the beach is relatively clean, or at least cleaner than anything you find near Istanbul. The people are nice and chilling too, mostly young couples and friends. Most of the beach is pebbles with a small sandy area.

Nice schistous/chalk white beach with easy accessibility by private car. Water is turquoise blue and clean. Very nice for snorkelling experiences. But be careful for sea urchins, water shoes are recommended. Furthermore no lifeguard and no umbrellas to rent. A friendly older man is selling alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages from a caravan. To summarise this, it’s nice beach to spent a day but you need to bring camping stuff with you. Within a 5 minutes driving distance are “Cleopatras Caves” located.

Located on the outskirts of town, Altınkum Plajı (Goldensand Beach) is a popular spot for restaurants and bars. The beach boasts bright white sands and clear, warm water that's perfect for families with young children. However, access to the public beach may be blocked by private beach owners who charge 100 turkish lira per person to enter. If you're looking to avoid this fee, simply cross a nearby side road to access free nature.
Wow, this is one of the best beaches with fine sands and crystal clear water. We stayed at one of the hotels nearby and we're recommended to go there. Will definitely go back again next time in Çesme.

Great clean beach. However you should come early before 11 AM, because people start to come. And there for many beaches you have to pay money. But still there are great places for free. And there is bus stop which comes every 20-30 minutes. Be careful, there are some rocks that that under sand. Overall great place and definitely should visit again.

A very beautiful beach whith white sand. The water is small, transparent and warm. Unfortunately access to the public beach is blocked by the owners of the private beach as they do everything possible to pay them 100 turkish lira per person- 2020 course. We did not engage in these bandit practices and we easily crossed a side road to enjoy free nature! Last edit: I returned in August 2022. Now the access to the public beach is no longer fenced. So we can enjoy the beauty of this beach together with the family. But more people more garbage. Of course you can have free access to the restaurant on the private beach.

With a relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff, it's an ideal spot to enjoy a summer day with friends or family.
We had a wonderful experience. The club was very well organized, and the staff were extremely welcoming. Despite being quite crowded, reservations weren’t necessary. And Plenty of free Parking. The entry fee was 950 lira per person(as of August 2024) which included a bottle of beer. However, since we avoid alcohol, we wished they had offered a non-alcoholic option as well. That was the only downside to an otherwise fantastic visit.

Beautiful place to spend a great day.We came here a little worried because it seems in Cesme these type of beaches can be sneaky with prices and services. I’m happy to tell this place is not the case, yes the entrance fee is expensive but all the property is spotless clean as the beach, the staff is not trying to sell you or cheat you into unnecessary things. We think it’s a great value for money if you come all day long not just a couple of hours. The beach and nature it self is so beautiful and the water is so cold even in summer perfect refreshing. I think people who doesn’t like this place are the ones expecting a total different experience, just go to the public beaches where everyone throws cigarettes on the ground and leave dirty behind and you will realize why this place is so good.

The food was good, but it wasn't fresh enough considering the price. The cocktails also seemed to have less alcohol than they're supposed to. It's wise to choose items from the menu, as we ended up paying $220 for only a paella plate (which wasn’t on the menu), making it feel overpriced
Esra E — Google review
A high-end dining experience with prices to match. The concept is built around multiple courses, so the main dishes are intentionally on the smaller side – something that might put some people off if they’re expecting large portions for the price. That said, the quality and flavour of each dish were outstanding, easily one of the best meals we had during our trip. Service was excellent overall – the waiters were attentive and kind – though one waitress did try to clear our plates before we’d finished a couple of times, which was a little awkward. The atmosphere is very stylish, with a live DJ creating a great energy. The music is on the louder side, which might not suit everyone, but we personally loved it. A really memorable spot if you’re looking for a special night out

The food was good but way over priced. The spinach salad, crudo, and kalamari plate are worth it. I would only order apps here then go somewhere else. Tried two small oysters for 13$ each, more expensive then America. Not worth it. They sold us on this "dry aged fish", we tried it. It's nothing special and super small portion for the price given. 4 stars for the apps. Avoid other items. There's several other fish restaraunts at affordable prices.

Seafood restaurant
Fish restaurant
Ferdi Baba Restaurant - Çeşme Port Alaçatı is a Mediterranean-style restaurant located on the new Marina, offering a variety of seafood displayed on ice. The cold and hot starters are excellent, although some feel that the grills could be better. Despite this, the moderate prices, wonderful view, and efficient service make for a fantastic dining experience. It's advisable to make reservations in advance as it tends to get crowded quickly. The ambiance is upscale and perfect for fine dining.
Great location, great food! Prices are a bit high but totally worth it! I was a bit sick of eating seafood in Izmir so I wasn’t sure about coming here. I am happy I did! All dishes are cooked with a twist. Sea bass is my favorite for hot dishes and the seafood mix for cold appetizers Highly recommend it!
Ahmad H — Google review
We recently visited this restaurant after hearing good things, but unfortunately, our experience left a lot to be desired. From the moment we sat down, we weren’t offered menus and were instead immediately shown the fish of the day. When I politely asked for something that *was* on the menu, the two main servers—who I suspect are the owners—were dismissive and borderline rude, pushing the fish option instead. Reluctantly, we agreed, only to find that both our fish somehow weighed *exactly* 0.70kg, which felt a bit too convenient. At 2,170 lira each (around £41), this was far from good value. The fish was okay—nothing remarkable—but certainly not worth the price. It came with a "salad" that was just a few large, undressed leaves and two slices of red onion. No olive oil, no vinaigrette, nothing to bring it together. It felt like an afterthought. Additionally, people were smoking inside which took from my experience and is also illegal. While the setting and atmosphere were nice, the food and service didn’t live up to the location. We left feeling overcharged and underwhelmed. Not a place we’d return to or recommend.

If you’re looking for a calm, high-quality dining spot in Çeşme, Ferdi Baba is a great choice. Thank you!

Overpriced and Overhyped If you’re new here, think twice. No menu, no prices shown—just a display of fish and meze, then a shock when the bill comes. Standard food at inflated prices. Plenty of reviews echo the same: it’s more about squeezing tourists than offering good service or value.
Mark L — Google review
very bad experience. First off, I ordered the shrimp tempura expecting a proper serving, only to be given one single piece. Nowhere on the menu did it mention that it was just one shrimp, and the waiter didn’t say anything either. If that’s the case, it should absolutely be made clear To make things worse, the price of the shrimp tempura was listed as 340 on the menu — but on the final bill, they charged 430. No explanation, no correction, just blatant price manipulation. The portion sizes overall were shockingly small for the prices. Again, no heads-up from the staff — just tiny servings that left everyone at the table still hungry. To top it off, they kept refilling our water without asking, and then charged us for it. No one requested extra water, and we were never told that refills came with a price tag. It felt sneaky and dishonest. Overall, it was a disappointing and overpriced experience. Lack of transparency, poor communication, and very underwhelming food. Would not recommend.

This place is a complete rip-off. The service is extremely bad, the food is even worse, and it’s all designed to take advantage of tourists. We paid $600 for half a fish and left hungry. Absolutely the worst experience — overpriced, bad quality, and not worth your time or money. Avoid at all costs!

We had an unforgettable dining experience at Ferdi Baba in Çeşme! From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The food was fantastic — fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere was absolutely stunning, perfect for a relaxing evening by the sea. We went with our two kids and were truly treated like royalty. Our server, Tolga Onur, was incredibly attentive — always making sure our water glasses were full and that each course arrived perfectly timed. His service really stood out. To top it all off, the owner, Tuncaj, came by personally and treated us to a platter of fresh seasonal fruit and dessert, ending our meal on the sweetest note. It's rare to find a place that combines great food, warm service, and a beautiful setting so effortlessly. Highly recommend Ferdi Baba — we’ll definitely be back! I’m

Nicely located on the new Marina this place hasa definite Mediterranean vibe. The seafood is displayed on ice and you're spoilt for choice. The cold and hot starters are on display as well and are excellent. To be frank, as far as the grills go, I've had better fare at other restaurants but Ferdi Baba comes close and given the moderate prices, the wonderful view and efficient service, it makes for a fantastic experience. Expect to pay around TRL 1400 pp with wine. Parking is available near by.

Restaurant
Agrilia Restaurant, led by the skilled chef Melih Teksen, offers a distinctive and innovative dining experience in Alacati. As one of the oldest establishments in the area, it goes beyond traditional Mediterranean cuisine with its carefully curated seasonal menu. The restaurant's romantic ambiance and attentive staff contribute to a memorable evening. Recently located within Alavya Hotel, Agrilia is known for its cozy atmosphere and excellent food selection.
This was without a doubt the highlight of our trip to Çeşme. Agrilia offers a delightful blend of excellent food, superb wine, and a unique dining atmosphere. The open kitchen concept and the charming winery setting make it a standout choice for a special evening out. The combination of great service and exceptional food and wine made our visit truly memorable. We look forward to returning and highly recommend Agrilia to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable dining experience

We were fortunate to have the chance to experience this fantastic restaurant on their last week of operating in the Alavya Hotel. After six years, they are now taking a break to embark on a new location. The hotel is the epitome of style and comfort with this current venture. From sitting upstairs with a log fire in beautiful lounge chairs to our table sitting right at the front of the restaurant overlooking the cobblestone street was perfect for people watching. We could only imagine watching the people in summer with all the radiant pink Bougainvillea flowers blossoming and surrounding you in the cobblestone streets. The hotel's interior oozes style, and you are greeted as you walk in with a selection of fine local delicacies in the boutique delicatessen. As you continue, you'll be greeted with the main restaurant and bar, then you move into the idyllic outdoors, and there is a magnificent full-length pool that in summer would be the place to be when you're in Alacati. Be prepared to take on a culinary journey of unique textures, from the impressive starters to desserts, including pasta flavoured with vodka (yes, you heard correctly) and lamb cutlets cooked to perfection. They hosted an impressive wine list of high-quality Turkish wines, including all our favourites from Chamlija and a small selection of champagnes to begin your culinary journey. Unfortunately, we didn't get to do cocktails this time; however, the bar was very inviting. The perfect pacing of the meals and the chef's passion for flavours and unique and delicious combinations provide you with a divine dining experience. Very professional and friendly team, all with excellent knowledge of the menu and wine list, and were very attentive during our slow dining. The team had plenty of time to engage in great conversation, and our waitress gave us an excellent overview of the area and its history and her personal journey in life. Wishing the team every success for their subsequent tenure, we have no doubt they will continue to sprinkle their cheerful energy and deliver on their promise of superior dining to all future guests.

Water park
Water & Amusement Parks

Aqua Toy City is a water park with water slides, inflatable toys, pools, and family-friendly attractions. Visitors recommend arriving early to secure loungers and an umbrella. The food is considered good but a bit pricey. The pool and toilets are reasonably clean but could be better. It's described as a great experience for kids and enjoyable for all ages. The locker room is clean with programmable locks, the restaurant has a chill vibe, but the food quality doesn't quite match the prices.
An amazing experience for kids. A lot of fun for all ages. Locker room is clean and has peogrammable locks. Restaurant is nice and and very chill vibe. Only downside is the food quality that is not up to the prices. Food presentation is good though. Staff is very friendly but only two were able to speak English with us.

Overall, we had a pleasant experience here. The environment felt safe for kids, which we really appreciated. What we enjoyed: the food, the slides, and the friendly service. We were also happy to find there were no long queues for the slides. Areas for improvement: we noticed some trash in a few corners, the music at one point was exclusively uptempo house (It did not seem to be setting the perfect mood and the playlist was on repeat), and the toilets could have been cleaner. Good to know: The park uses salt water in their pools. You can’t bring food. Come early, latest 1 hour after opening. Would we go again? Maybe next year. The kids had a great time, and we feel it created a lasting memory for them.

Visited twice in 2 weeks both on a tuesday. Both times staff were very helpful and friendly (apart from the girl in the gift shop who followed us so closely it was like she wanted a hug). Get there early to ensure you can find loungers and an umbrella. The food is good but a little pricey for the area. Pool was resonably clean as were the toilets but could be better. I saw a lifeguard walking around but I assume they are not a legal requirement so really make sure children who can't swim have armbands/life vest and are supporvised. The kids love it here and always enjoy themselves. Large slides for adults and adventurous kids. Inflatables and a lovely large area for small kids and toddlers with fountains and small slides and play equipment. A really good place to spend a day.

Big swimming pool, a lot of sunbathing places, but so few water slides for adults and teenagers. The area for children is pretty good. Even though the price is too high - 600 Turkish lira for a person😵‍💫. Because there is no any competition

Nice and clean place. Bring the kids, is OK. The price changed to 150 per person. The food is not the best but it is good, don't worry. It is a good choice to spend a whole day. They don't have many things but they have what I need.

Historical place
Ayios Haralambos Church, a historic Greek Orthodox church in the heart of Cesme, dates back to the 19th century. The church boasts a charming facade, a bell tower, and vibrant frescoes and icons within. While some visitors feel that more historical context is needed, many appreciate the beautiful ceiling paintings inside. Despite needing restoration work and maintenance, it remains an attractive site for those interested in exploring the town's multicultural heritage.
Located downtown in Cesme. Some concerts and exhibitions are held in the church. During the summer time, it is very hot because there is no a/c. Religious activities occurs a few times in a year.

Restaurant
Kumrucu Bahattin is a fantastic fast food joint to grab a quick and tasty bite during the day. It's the ultimate spot for a classic Kumru sandwich, which can be enjoyed almost daily. The staff at Kumrucu Bahattin are extremely friendly and engaging, often indulging in enjoyable discussions about global affairs and recommending places worth visiting in Cesme. This place is an absolute must-visit if you're looking for the best Kumrucu experience in town.
Charming local restaurant with delicious food and excellent service. They are able to suggest you the best local plate and they are great at communicating in different languages. The food is special also because the chef grows the vegetables in his own garden close to the sea side and grills it extremely well. I definitely suggest to stop by 😊

Beach
"The Beach of Momo" is a private beach located at Aya Yorgi bay, known for its lively atmosphere and entertainment. Visitors can enjoy DJ performances and concerts by renowned musicians until the early hours of the morning. The beach has gained attention from tourists, with some describing it as a place where posh individuals gather. Entrance to the beach requires a fee, and visitors are expected to spend additional money on food and drinks.
I was shocked to see how low this place was rated. When I looked into the reviews a bunch of people who had trouble getting in, I can’t speak about that as I walked right in without issue. The surrounding terrain caused the wind to be blocked making it a perfect beach day. Great DJ, great service, tasty drinks, beautiful Beach.

Would rather give zero stars if possible. Absolutely horrible service at the front entrance. We came here with a big wedding group under a reservation made by the bride. The service was awful from the first second that we walked up. Out of respect, we tried to speak in Turkish and the host sighed and groaned as if the inconvenience of having to listen felt like he was running a marathon on flaming hot coals. The hosts had changed our reservation from 8 to 2 when the first two people walked in (they arrived 30 min before the rest). They could have easily asked them to wait for the whole party to arrive, but they did not. They wouldn’t even allow the groom to enter even though he arrived just 30 min later. They would not be reasoned with and became hostile and aggressive very fast despite the fact that our party remained calm and respectful throughout. We were treated so disrespectfully. Not worth it at all. Do yourself a favor and choose somewhere else.

We loved it here!!! We came during off season so it was a little less crowded what we really enjoyed. The team was 10/10, very attentive and always helpful! The sea is cristal clear, the beach clean, you have towls and showers at the beach. We didn’t tried the food but it looked amazing.

Don't waste your time. Accidentally we access the premises through a back door, GPS sent us to a rock side road that access the free part of the beach. staff was using a phone didn't say anything about entering in the wrong way.. We ended up in the middle of the bar, staff were looking at us, didn't know what to do, eventually a supervisor went to talk to us. I tried to get information, he asked us to follow another colleague, we asked a few questions which he ignored, then we were scorted to the reception where we saw a huge queue. No information... we waited in the queue for about 10min to then be informed we need a booking, however Mondays were quiet so walk-ins were possible. We needed to pay 2000TL entry fee + 3500 minimum spent per person, which is easy to reach she said... (Because of the prices) I asked to see a menu to see vegetarian option, and they replied: There's some veggies, and didn't let me see the menu. We didn't feel welcome. Didn't want to stay. As we came through the wrong entrance, we had to walk around the premises through bushes, because they didn't let us come back in to go to our car.

0. We had a very disappointing experience at Beach Club Momo. We arrived without a reservation at 13h, the parking with 5/6 cars. At the entrance were told to book through Instagram. We tried, but never received any response. After 15mins waiting we ask for more news, where they explain us with a stupid explanation that their instagram works with a marketing agency and due to the so-called busyness, the instagram feedback can be slow. Meanwhile, the 4, 5 staffs doing nothing looking to you – extremely unprofessional and disrespectful behavior. Definitely not recommended! Thanks to your nonsense we found a much better place nearby in a hotel with great service and beach!!! 😉🙏 Tip for the agency write it in big letters on your profile that "reservation is needed"!
Erkan S — Google review
It is a private beach where you can find a lot of posh people queuing up to enter, and they were a bit arrogant for demanding to see us in person to decide whether we are a good fit to their establishment or not when we called them to make a reservation :D A strange behavior to encounter but still I would say it’s worth going and experiencing the ambience.. the entrance fee was 200 Turkish Liras per person and we promised to spend at least 300 Turkish Liras more per person at the beach for foods and drinks.. So at least approximately 50 Euros per person just to basically enter.. it is okay and worth it because the foods they were serving, I must admit, were really good! And the beach is very nice! It is obvious from the first glance that they invested a lot of money.. Definitely recommend this place!

This is a chic little enclave tucked into a picturesque bay with a postcard view of Chios. They must have carried tons of fine sand (this was not a sandy beach 10 years ago), which feels like heaven between your toes. The beach itself is 15–20 meters long and 5 meters deep—about the size of a decent living room. But don’t worry, there are 200+ sunbeds scattered (tightly) onto the upper deck, where sand meets concrete in a stunning example of spatial anxiety. There were lots of Instagram ladies getting their pics taken, which makes me think that this is THE place to be. So, if you want your ex to know that you made it, make sure your wallet is full of Benjamins and head over to the Momo beach club. BUT if you are not extravagant or pretentious, you won’t fit in. There is a hierarchy here.. If you are not a couple of dudes, and folks at the door approve of the authenticity of your datejust, you will be allowed to pay and get in, as a rando. There will be premium guests and VIPs inside, so don’t expect much just because you paid the entry fee. Kindness of the staff is directly proportional to the bracelet color you have. Went to a concert here recently, and was escorted somewhere behind the singer. Apparently, the front was reserved for those whose lives are more curated than mine. Even the VIPs were awkwardly wedged into corners, because someone with deeper pockets decided to plop a table dead-center in the standing area. Democracy dies in bottle service. There are better places to spend $12 for half pint of lukewarm beer.

Seafood restaurant
Cevat's Place in Cesme is a top-notch fish restaurant that offers a diverse selection of Turkish meze options. While it may be on the expensive side, the quality of the food justifies the price. The menu includes delectable dishes such as Turkish fava, glasswort salad, artichoke, and Turkish shakshuka. They also serve delicious hot starters like shrimp with butter and fried calamari.
This is the best fish restaurant I've ever tried in Cesme! Yes, it's pricey, but you truly get what you pay for. They offer a wide array of Turkish meze options. We ordered four mezes and enjoyed each of them: Turkish fava, glasswort salad, artichoke, and Turkish shakshuka. We chose two hot starters: shrimp with butter and fried calamari. For the main dish, we ordered a sea bass (around 1kg, which is enough for 3 people), and it was simply superb - probably the best I've ever had in Turkey. The waiter was also very kind and helpful when it came to choosing food. He made sure everything was okay with our meal. As of July 2023, we paid around 40-50 euros per person. I would absolutely recommend this place and am already planning my next visit!

You definitely have to go there. Very nice service, the food is excellent and the quiet atmosphere closed to the marina is just perfect. I recommend this place 100%

Fish restaurant
Defne Yaprağı Balık Restaurant in Dalyanköy Çeşme is a top choice for seafood enthusiasts. The restaurant offers an upscale tavern concept, where the delectable mezes take center stage and are highly praised. With its warm and inviting atmosphere, this eatery provides a true taste of the Aegean Sea. The extensive menu showcases an array of fresh seafood dishes that celebrate the ocean's bounty.
One of the best locations in Cesme. Very good service. Very good traditional fish and mezze dishes. All fresh and high quality. Türkiye as it’s best. One of the main reasons to come again. Thanks a lot for the warm welcome and the good food. Hi

It started out well. The owner spoke good English and was very hospitable. Unfortunately, it went downhill from there. It took over an hour for 2 mains to come and when we asked when our other fish mains where coming, they said 2 minutes. We waited another 15 minutes then told them we want to cancel the order as they hadn’t even started. They tried to tell us to wait another 2 minutes but we walked out. The ratio of tables versus the tiny kitchen speaks for itself. Let that be a lesson. Additionally, the food we did get was very expensive for what it was.

Super kind staff, good atmosphere & amazing food! The Mezze was delicious, the grilled Octopus as well. The fish was fresh & tasty. The staff helped me to cut my fish properly, since I am not experienced with fish. Highly recommend this place.

Awesome fish restaurant, with a very friendly team, in a nice place directly in front of the atmospheric Dalyan Marina. You have a variety of tasty appetizers and warm starters. I recommend you to try the specialty „you name it“ with a fresh grilled fish and the pumpkin sweet dessert with icecream. Especially the last one was a surprise because I haven’t tried something like that never before. It’s also open in winter by the way where you can take a seat near the cozy fireplace and get a glass of wine. Excellent and absolutely recommendable!

We had dinner here two nights in a row and it was wonderful. They prepared the sea dishes in the most wonderful way. We had meza’s (the one with beans and the one with walnuts and almonds are really good). The fish (sea bass I think) was really tasty and the other night we had a salad with sea food and grilled squid. All in all, it was better than Ferdi Baba and many other more expensive in Alacati and Cesme marina.

Great find suggested to us by our hotel. We had a light meal of octopus, chips and melon. All the food was excellent. The owner and staff were delightful and most helpful and attentive. Tucked away below a hill, on a narrow street off the sea, the whole place becomes magical at night.

Sonar, served me and my best friend Troy, the fish was phenomenal, the chocolate soufflé was the best I ever had. I highly recommend. So kind and caring and in winter the fire is beautiful. Thank you Sonar. I will be back

Mezze are very tasty and there are plenty; the octopus Greek style is to be tasted if you come here - and sea bass fish on the grill is very very tasty - we are here 7 days and will come back 2-3 times to taste other dishes! Definitely the best restaurant of the marina.
