The Aegean Coast region

Something for everyone of all ages - Traditional Turkish Charm, Long Sandy Beaches, Turquoise Blue Seas, Wonderful Restaurants, Fabulous Watersports, Exclusive Marina's, Turkey's finest archaeological sites, museums and so much more......!

Local Way of Life: The local area offers a world of days gone by as the locals go about their daily chores. Watch the local fishermen selling their daily catch in the numerous fishing villages that dot the coastline, or farmers selling their produce at the local markets or on the roadside next to their fields.

Climate: The region of Cesme has a typical Mediterranean climate. The summer season begins in April and continues until the end of October with hot sunny days. Unlike other Turkish resorts, the region of Cesme benefits from the cooling Imbat breeze which blows off the Aegean Sea and is renowned for its clean, cool air, offering welcome relief from the heat of the sun even during the hottest months of July and August.

Cesme is located on Turkey's western coast overlooking the Aegean Sea. Less than one hour's drive from Turkey's 3rd largest city of Izmir, Cesme is the ideal location for a combined beach and sightseeing holiday with its crystal clear waters, sandy beaches, fantastic climate and nearby historical gems. Cesme is easily reached by local mini buses called 'Dolmus', which offer a colourful insight into the Turkish way of travelling. It is now also home to Cesme's exclusive marina, which opened in 2010 with designer shops and restuarants overlooking the yachts. The marina provides the ideal spot for relaxing and people watching whilst having a coffee, glass of wine or meal in one of the speciality restuarants. All this less than 10 minutes drive from Sea View Villas.

Cesme (pronounced as chesh-ma) means fountain in Turkish, and comes from the many springs that were built in the area during the 18th and 19th centuries. Cesme has a long history which is evident from the Genoese Castle situated in the centre of town that dates from the 14th century. Next to the castle is the Caravanserai added in the 16th Century.

In the town centre you can find a good selection of carpets, leather goods and souvenirs, which if you decide to buy you can practice your haggling skills. If you feel adventurous, you can explore the maze of side streets to examine Cesme's historic architecture, and witness the daily activities of the local Turkish people.

When dusk falls, Cesme becomes the place to be seen with its 'cafe culture', as both tourists and locals take a leisurely stroll with their family and friends to enjoy the cool evening air.

Historical Sites. The Aegean coast is steeped in history with many archaelogical sites to visit within easy distance of the villa. To name a few;

Ephesus, (Efes) is Turkey's most visited ancient site.

Today you can clearly see the remains of this empire with its city hall, houses, shops and streets, allowing you to experience what life was like in the times of the Greeks and the Romans.

Founded in the 10th century BC by the Ionian Greeks, the ancient capital of Ephesus flourished between 600 BC and 500 AD. Once with a population of 300,000, Ephesus became the biggest centre of the trade road that was from Asia to Europe.

Selcuk, is a pretty town famous for both its historical richness and its superb natural location. Sites of historical interest in the area are the city of St. John, the citadel, the Basilica of St. John and the archaeological museum of Selcuk. For shoppers, Selcuk offers a selection of charming boutiques and colourful bazaars situated in the picturesque narrow, winding streets of the town.

Sirince, north of Selcuk, attracts visitors with its spectacular mountain views and distinctive white houses set against the lush green hillside of olive and fig tress. Sirince owes its uniqueness to the Greek community that lived here until 1924, when the population exchanges between Greece and Turkey took place.

Pergamum, now known as Bergama , was once the capital city of Hellenistic kingdom which became powerful and rich during the reign of the King Attalus I and the King Eumenes II when it aimed, and eventually became allies with Rome. Steeped in cultural heritage, Pergamum was home to the Romans, Arabs, Byzantine and the Turks. Today, the stature and views commanded by the Acropolis ensure that this is the highlight of a visit to Pergamum.

The Cesme / Ciftlikkoy area

Turkey's Treasures

If you wish to experience Turkey's cultural, historical and natural wonders you will enjoy a visit to any of the following places which are all within easy reach of the villas. Ciftlikkoy also known as Ciftlik, is a typical Aegean fishing village and is a natural wonder with its beautiful sandy beaches and crystal clear waters of Altinkum, Pirlanta and Tursite. In the village you can visit the harbour to buy freshly caught fish, or sit and have a drink at the local restaurants, from which you can watch the local fishermen at work or look out to sea, across to the Greek island of Chios.

Take a stroll through the heart of the village and you will be transferred back in time to narrow streets and crumbling old buildings that were originally built when the Greeks lived in Ciftlikkoy. As you walk by, you will witness traditional Turkish ladies sat chatting on their doorsteps, cleaning their carpets, hanging out the washing or maybe even milking a goat !

Back at the villa, you do not escape the rustic allure of the village as it is not uncommon to walk out onto the villa balcony to see the occasional herd of sheep or goats grazing in front of the house, or the farmers picking their crops to sell at the local market. And if that's not enough entertainment from your balcony, you can watch the local fishermen sail in and out from the village harbour and the windsurfers enjoying the wonderful breeze for which Ciftlikkoy is famed.

Local Cuisine: Ciftlikkoy's village restaurants are a short walk from the villas and offer a wide selection of international and local dishes. For seafood lovers you can enjoy lobster, prawns, calamari, sea bream, sea bass, red mullet and various other catches. If you want to try something typically Turkish, wet your appetite by sampling the local plates of meze, washed down with the national drink of Raki.

Out and about: If you require a little action, you can always take the regular minibuses into the nearby historical port of Cesme, or visit the various beaches and local attractions.

Cesme is only 5km away from the villa and is either a short car journey, or a long walk along the coastal path from the villas. The town offers a wide selection of shops, restaurants, bars, banks, supermarkets and all that you could possibly require during your holiday.

Evening Entertainment, tends to revolve around dining out, spending several hours over a leisurely meal as done by the locals. Restaurants are family friendly as the Turkish people love children and the local children are awake until all hours, running about in the cool evening air. Should you wish to stay out late, Cesme has a small number of bars and the nightclubs are on the town outskirts.

Dalyan is a small fishing village 4km north of Cesme, and has some of the region's best fish restaurants which border the quay of the lively marina. If you love seafood, you should try to have dinner at one of Dalyan's restaurants at least one night during your stay.

Thermal Springs of Ilica and Sifne: It is said that the thermal spring waters of Ilica and Sifne offer health benefits to the sufferers of rheumatism, gout, skin diseases and various other ailments, due to the minerals in the thermal waters. At Sifne, the thermal spa complex has a mud bath for the treatment of eczema, psoriasis and other skin disorders.

Alacati: popular for windsurfing and sailing is a typical Aegean town. You can experience the Turkey of years gone by with its natural harbour, cobblestone streets and historic windmills dotting the hillside. Saturday, the day of the local market is a good day to visit Alacati, when you can witness an array of locally produced goods on offer at incredibly low prices. Smell and taste the deliciously fresh fruit and vegetables and buy the latest fake 'designer' clothes. Or if you just like to take it easy, have a relaxing drink in the town square and watch the world go by.

Ildiri: once the site of ancient Erythrai, is today a quiet seaside village 20 km, north east of Cesme. Those who climb up to the Acropolis at dusk are rewarded with beautiful views as the sun sinks over the bay and islands.

Izmir, is a cosmopolitan and lively city, hosting several International Arts and Music Festivals throughout the year. Known in Turkey as "Beautiful Izmir", the port of Izmir, offers a Mediterranean feel with its palm-lined promenades stretching the shoreline. A day trip to Izmir is ideal if you wish to shop or visit the local museums.

Local Beaches - Cesme's Peninsular offers a number of clean sandy beaches and secluded bays for swimming, sunbathing or for participating in a number of water sports activities. A number of the beaches have been awarded blue flag status and are cleaned daily in the height of the summer season. Luckily, some of the areas best beaches and swimming waters are located only minutes away from the villa.

Ilica is famous for its white sandy beach and turquoise blue waters, which are comparable to the Caribbean, only much closer to home!

Ilica is a popular tourist location due to the hot thermal waters that effervesce under the sea. The sea in this area is both safe and shallow, and ideal for families. Along the beach are a selection of restaurants, cafes and bars.

It is possible to undertake most sporting activities in the area, especially sailing, kitesurfing, windsurfing and scuba diving as the area boasts several schools due to the excellent location for these sports. We can advise you how to book these activities on your arrival, or you can contact us for more information prior to departure. Pre booking is advisable during the busy months of July and August, to ensure that you will not be disappointed.

Aegean Sea View Villa is located only minutes away from the new Kite Surfing Centre at Pirlanta Beach with its dedicated Kite School and Café. So even if you do not wish to Kite Surf, it’s a great place to hang out and watch this extreme sport in action whilst you lay back and enjoy a drink or a meal on the beach !

Cruise the Aegean Sea - On Cesme's waterfront, you are able to book daily boat trips to the nearby islands. The most popular day trip is to "Donkey Island" which includes stops for refreshing swimming breaks and a meal at lunch time. You can also charter your own boat, which if you are in a large group can be comparable in price to an organised tour from the sea front. Chartering a boat (usually a Turkish Wooden sailing boat called a Gulet) will allow you to cruise the Aegean at your own pace and make you feel really special as you cruise around the coastline on your private gulet.

The Greek island of Chios, is easily reached from Cesme. You can take a day trip by ferry to explore this unique island to visit places of interest such as Chios town, or you can escape to the various picturesque villages and beaches.

Guestbook for AEGEAN SEA VIEW VILLA

Aegean Sea View was launched new for holiday rentals in August 2008. Here are some extracts from our guest book.

The Taylor Family - Germany, June 2009 - " Thanks for such a lovely holiday and all your help throughout. We arrived feeling exhausted and left feeling completely relaxed. Ciftlikkoy is the perfect place to wind down and escape the rat race. We loved the convenient location of the villa, the house, the pool, the food, the people - everything really. We hope to return as there's still so much to do.Thank you for helping us to enjoy a truly memorable holiday "

The Roberts Family - Lancashire, UK, May 2009 - " A big, big thank you for helping us plan our holiday. This was our first villa rental holiday and we had a great time. We loved having drinks by the pool and watching the sunset. Infact we should have visited more places but we loved relaxing at the house in the day and then walking to the village restaurants in the evenings. We will miss our 'second home' in Turkey."

And detailed feedback From the the Gill Family, Shropshire, UK.'' This was our first visit to Turkey and we can't wait to return. We adored the villa, the sea views and the sunsets. Having our own swimming pool was fantastic and felt magical at night, sipping drinks whilst first watching the sunset, then the lights twinkling on the island of Chios. Pre Dinner drinks by the pool was a firm part of our daily routine.

The villa location and village is great and the locals were helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our daily conversations with the baker, shop keepers and local farmers selling their melons, tomatoes, etc by the side of the road and in the village square. Infact we hardly used our rental car. We could have used the local buses really which were also good fun to mix with the locals.

The short walk to the village centre and seafront promenade with its beaches, restaurants and shops was the focus of most evenings, and we mainly ate in the village, rather than go into Cesme. We then enjoyed walks along the promenade to either walk off our dinner, or to go buy an ice cream just like the locals late at night.

The morning fish market was colourful and interesting although not knowing our Turkish numbers we declined from bidding for fish. We loved the weekly market - which smelt delicious as we walked through and we also bought far too much as its all looked so good. ( must learn what half a kilo is in Turkish !) I can honestly say that I've never tasted such wonderful peaches.

We enjoyed a couple of visits to Alacati which was charming with its cobbled streets and small boutiques. Ephesus and other trips will have to wait until we return - and I can assure you will we. We all had a fantastic holiday. Thank you once again for all your help and assistance in helping us plan our holiday. (Before & during our stay.) It was an absolute pleasure to stay at your villa and visit this area.

Best Wishes
The Gill Family, Shropshire (August 2008 & June 2009)
