"Beautiful Izmir" -- the "Pearl of the Aegean" -- is Turkey's third largest city and second most important port. A city of palm-lined promenades, avenues and green parks set in sweeping curves along a circular bay, Izmir has an exceptionally mild climate and many fine hotels. Turkey's Aegean shores are among the loveliest landscapes in the country.

Backed by mountains and facing the sea, this site offers a fine appearance, both with its natural panorama and its modern and orderly view.

Cesme, lapped by the waters of the Aegean Sea, lies west of Izmir, in Turkey's Aegean region. Cesme, meaning fountain, derives from the many sources of water found in the area. It is one of Turkey's most beautiful stretches, surrounded by clear blue seas, with landscapes of cultivated fields of aniseed, sesame and artichokes dotted with fig and gum trees. In the un-spoilt bays you can swim in absolute peace.
