Turkey sailor´s travel report visit Cesme by Yacht

If you are sailing or on a yacht-holiday with a motoryacht or a traditional Gulet, you will come to Cesme, which is only 78 km freom Izmir airport and a good starting-point for dsailing-trips "off" the beaten path. Start could be at the Setur Marina , or the town marina close to the castle of Cesme. The name of the town means "waterspring", and so the town itself is very green all year long. Many local tourists from Izmir and other big turkish towns come her, have holiday homes and their boats, so one can find an interesting mixture between modern turkish society and ancient historical witnesses as well as typical turkish shops, bazars and life. In summertime, many famous turkish, but as welkl international cultural evants take place, often in the beautifull castle of Cesme.

The steady winds of the northeastern Aegaean sea make a sailing trip a great event, and as well windsurfing and Kite-Surfing are very "en vogue"! Wind Surf World Championship will be organized in Cesme at 2006.

Arriving from seaside, a seaman should be aware of some rocky cliffs and check his seacharts carefully - every year a boat hit the rocks, and that could be very dangerous, indeed!
