Alacati, Turkey - Europe

The Cesme peninsular is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt areas on the Turkish coast. Popular with Turkish holiday makers for its great beaches, cool summer winds and relaxed atmosphere, Cesme has hardly been discovered by European tourists.

Alacati is a charming former Greek village located on the Cesme Peninsular. Overlooked by a row of stone windmills, the town's atmospheric cobbled streets are lined with historic stone houses, taverns and cool bars, and dotted with friendly guesthouses and boutique hotels. The shops sell local crafts, jewellery and antiques; while the village square is filled with market stalls and open-air cafes. After dark, there are nightspots to suit all tastes, from friendly tavernas to trendy cocktail bars, with a selection of nightclubs and beach bars open until dawn nearby.
