Cesme-Alacati Tour from Izmir
Overview
Türkiye’s Aegean coast comes into focus on this private full-day journey from Izmir to Çeşme and Alaçatı. With a private car and driver for eight hours, the tour combines flexible sightseeing, seaside scenery, and swimming without the challenges of navigation, parking, or public transport.
Pickup is provided from any Izmir hotel or preferred address, followed by a comfortable drive to the Çeşme Peninsula. Visit Alaçatı, known for its cobblestone streets, traditional houses, colorful bougainvillea, and water sports.
Continue to Çeşme Castle, a 16th-century Ottoman landmark overlooking Çeşme Bay. Free time is available to visit the castle and archaeological museum or explore the area independently.
Swimming time is included at Ilıca Beach. A private beach in Alaçatı may be chosen instead for an additional entrance fee.
