Czech is a fashionable Turkish resort, which is located 80 km from Izmir, in the eponymous Peninsula in the Aegean Sea. It cannot be said that this resort is as popular among our tourists. But at the locals of Izmir Cesme - a sort of country village.
But, nevertheless, the city is really beautiful and as an alternative to habitual Antalya or Kemer, you can choose exactly Czech. Although prices there, honestly, bite. Windy and dry weather even in the summer months contributes to a comfortable stay in this area. In the offseason, there is very sleepy, so, the very place for pension.The name of this resort translated from Turkish means "source" - in the 19th century several mineral springs were found in the 19th century. By the way, this peninsula is extremely noteworthy here than: In 1770, during the Chesmen battle, the Russian fleet under the command of Count Alexei Orlova defeated Turkish. Since 2012, July 7 - the Day of the Military Glory of Russia. And the graph, he received the right to join his name "Chesmensky", and in the Chelyabinsk region it was so called the village (chemge).
Czech is a modern resort, with a developed tourist infrastructure. Despite the fact that the terrain here is pretty hilly, there is plenty of hotels, restaurants, bars, supermarkets and shops. Usually, if the terrain is so uneven, then this good is smaller. But, above all, Czech is luxurious sandy beaches and clean water. Vegetation here is smaller, compared to other coast regions, sort of "bald" hills. The Aegean Sea, by the way, the truth is crystal clear and transparent, although a bit colder (someone will seem to be that not even a bit, but quite, even at the height of the season) Mediterranean, but at least not so salty. From any beach of the resort, the Greek Island of Chios is visible - there too, you can also organize a trip, by the way.
Private villas here are just cool, all with their garden, swimming pool, parking and sea views. Moreover, in my opinion, every summer cottage is water. Otherwise, why build it then?
Find here the Bay of Dalyan - a wonderful, quiet without waves, with the smallest gentle sand, a clean sunset in the sea, and, most importantly, without annoying sellers.
The best beach resort-Altynkum, however, to get to it, you will have to go down 9 km from the city. By the way, on the beach you can see tents - tourists stop there without "olinklyusiva", which came to enjoy the beauty of the Turkish land. To these secluded beach can be reached by taxi or route taxi, Dolmushe. By the way, about nutrition. Holidays here are some kind of ... European, or something. Hotels, mostly work at breakfast or half board. And even in the evening, tourists go to dinner into cute fish restaurants, drink wine and enjoy the views of the sea.
If you are a water sport, you should go to the northern part of the cape. There are strong winds, that is, walking under a sailboat or ride on the board. By the way, there are both windsurfing schools at the resort. By the way, neighboring Village Alacata - Another famous place for local and visiting surfers (especially since mid-June).
And, at the same time, this is a pretty distinctive place with old blue and white houses, remaining since the times of Greek settlement, toy restaurants and flowers everywhere. And yet, for some reason, there are a lot of dogs.
It's so cute that Turkish singers love to shoot their clips here (the fans of Turkish pop music recognize "native expanses").
As for historical sights, then, perhaps, first of all it is worth noting ENEEZ Fortress (Casme Castle) or Genoese Castle of St. Peter.
The fortress towers over the city. She was built here to follow the enemies arriving by the sea, and then in order to protect the city. The fortress was erected in the 14th century, it was restored several times and completed.
However, the fortress was very much injured in the 17th century, in the years of clashes with the Venice Republic. At that time, the fortress was almost completely fired from the ground. But by the 18th century, the fort was built again and until the 30s of the 19th century, a military garrison was located in it.
And the members of St. John Jerusalem's Order lived in it. In the 20th century in one of the towers of the fortress (in the northern tower) opened Museum.
Most of this museum, by the way, is devoted to the very Russian-Turkish dump of 1770. Everything in the smallest details, as not written in any textbook history. Maps, suits, military equipment, cards. But there is here a bit of archaeological finds too, and there are halls dedicated to flora and Fauna Cesme.
An interesting fact about this constructure: one time in the fortress was inhabited by the "colleagues" of the famous Pirate Hyareddin Barbarossa, who, to surprise, managed to reach the rank of Admiral Fleet Turkey. The fortress is massive, with six towers and a fastener moat around. An international music festival is held annually in this place.
You can see a labyrinth of winding streets and a boulevard with a lot of restaurants.
As I already wrote above, there are mineral springs on this. Therefore, the appearance of hospitals and spa salons did not make himself wait. The most famous Medicinal complexes of Czech - Bylja and Ciffine . These bases attend thousands of tourists from many countries annually.
Ilja (ilıca) is somewhere a 10-minute drive from the resort.
Sprinklers at this place more than 250. "Lyjda" in Turkish means "warm water". Accordingly, because the sources are warm. By the way, some call it the place of ilzhai. The water of these sources have a temperature of 38 degrees. Those who suffer from rheumatism, neuralgia, skin problems, diseases of the musculoskeletal system are coming here.
Well, and a number of other sores, these wonderful waters are also treated. And you can also be sought in three small pools, which are connected to the sea. They are at the end of the port mall. Water in these pools are hot, they heat sea water up to 30 ° C, although, sometimes and up to 45 ° C.
And be sure to walk along the main embankment of Czech - neat, clean, with palm trees and restaurants around the edge. Somewhere here is a city hall building and another beautiful building.
By the way, it is only in the center of Cesme such a cool - on the outskirts - the usual Turkish village with houses with seating facades.
