Overview of your Kusadasi tour

Cesme is located at the westernmost end of Turkey. It is very popular among especially Turkish and European travelers with its history, wonderful beaches, hot springs and perfect nightlife. Most summer homes and hotels are occupied by the wealthy Turks and Europeans for their summer holidays. During the day the city center is so empty that you hardly see anybody wandering but in the evenings it becomes so hard to find a free table before the nightclubs and cafes get full. Alacati is a great part of Cesme. Life in Alacatı is becoming more popular than Cesme city center with its nightlife, white stone masonry homes and festivals. Windsurfing is a worldwide activity at Alacati beaches. Chios is a historical Greek island. It takes only 20 minutes to get there by a ferry. It is famous with "Mastik" tree and the products out of it. The Mastik Museum is a "must see place". I will be explaining the history behind all those attractions. You will enjoy being with a local, eating the best food and hearing the stories.
