⛱️Must-visit attractions: ▪️Antalya: The temperature soared to 40 degrees starting in Antalya. The city of Antalya is not big, but there are many scenic spots to visit around it and the sea is also beautiful. At sunset, the whole city will gather at the lighthouse by the sea, bringing beer and cracking melon seeds to watch the sunset. And the prices are the most beautiful of all cities. ▪️D400: The most beautiful thing was the blue hole jelly sea we encountered by chance, which strengthened our determination to swim in the sea. I didn't have a good time in Kas due to the high temperature. I believe the scenery is beautiful, but it is not much different from other small towns. ▪️Fethiye: Go to the market to buy fruits and then go to the beach and visit the vegetable market. You will get: cherries at 5 yuan per pound, watermelons at 1 yuan per kilogram, and many, many smiling faces! Then enjoy a fruit feast at the beach! ▪️Cesme: Cesme area belongs to Alacati district. The town is quiet, with few people during the day and bustling at night. · 🌄Travel guide: 1⃣️: Antalya: Kaleici-Hadrian Gate-Watch the sunset at the port 2⃣️: D400: Kaputas Beach-Kaş Town-Kumluca Town-Fethiye 3⃣️: Fethiye: Fethiye Cuma Pazari Market-Oludeniz Beach 4⃣️: Cesme: Alacati-Cesme Beach 🏨Accommodation guide: Be sure to check if the homestay has air conditioning! In addition, I don’t recommend staying in Alacati, it is a beautiful rural area in China, chickens, dogs and cats bark in turn all night... · 💗Other tips: 🚗Transportation: Antalya-Fethiye, charter a car

When it comes to the beautiful towns of Turkey, many people will mention Alacati. This is a beautiful and dreamy town by the Aegean Sea, facing Greece across the sea. It is full of literary and fresh places, belonging to Izmir city. It is famous for its Greek-style architecture, windmills and vineyards, and has a history of more than 150 years. Arriving in the small town is like entering a fresh fairy tale world. The uniquely shaped old windmills are not only a scenic spot in the town, but also a iconic building of Alacati. The location of the windmills is in the central urban area of the small town. In the criss-crossing alleys, you can always see neat tables and chairs arranged in a fresh blue and white color, reminiscent of Greece. Unlike modern Greece, the exterior walls of the buildings here are not pure white, but mostly composed of gray-brown bricks, resembling medieval Greece. Walking in the small town, with a gentle breeze blowing, the clean and tidy streets are almost filled with fresh flowers. There is a feeling of leisure and not busy. Just like the name of the Aegean Sea, it makes people feel very fresh and suitable for finding a comfortable time to enjoy a leisurely vacation life. Turning around the street corner, a faint floral fragrance wafts over, and large patches of emerald green catch the eye. Taking a leisurely walk here, feeling the sea breeze, admiring the ancient flower stone houses, taking some beautiful photos, sitting down for a cup of coffee, is a very pleasant thing. This place is suitable for staying for a few more days, experiencing a quiet and peaceful life. If you want to find a quiet place to stop and enjoy the beautiful scenery, go to Alacati! Transportation: If you are driving, it is very convenient to follow the navigation to get here. If you are taking public transportation, you need to take a bus to Izmir first and then transfer to a bus to Cesme. Get off at the station before Cesme.

🌼 Alaçatı Day Trip – Spring Edition 🌼 If fairytales had a summer house, it would be Alaçatı. Spring brings this little Aegean town to life — cobblestone streets, pastel shutters, and bougainvillea blooming like crazy 💐 🏘️ 1. Strolling the Old Town Started the day just getting lost in the charming alleys. Every corner looks like it was made for a postcard.

Birds chirping, flowers overhead, and a slow breeze that makes you forget you even have a phone. Spring here feels like a soft pause button in life. 🌊 3. Windmill Viewpoint & Alaçatı Port Before sunset, headed to the iconic windmills for a breezy panoramic view. Then off to the port — peaceful, photogenic, and perfect for a golden hour stroll. No crowds, just vibes. 💡 Tip: Alaçatı is perfect for a day trip from Izmir, but trust me — you’ll wish you had more time. Wear something light & flowy (photos will thank you), and don’t skip the lavender-scented shops! #myitinerary #beachlife #seascapes #thingstodo

Turkey is another country that is a paradise for those who love the sea and beaches. Many Turkish people and tourists choose to visit the resort towns on the southwestern or southern Aegean coast. But what will the atmosphere be like if we visit in winter? Is it still worth visiting? Let's find out.

Alaçatı (Turkish name), also known as Alacati, English translation Alacati, alias Agrilia, is a unique Mediterranean town on the west coast of Turkey. It is famous for its architecture, vineyards and windmills. It has a history of more than 150 years. It is world famous for windsurfing and kite surfing. An average of 300 days per year, crystal clear waters, light breezes and award-winning Turkish hotels. Alacati is one of the most authentic towns in Türkiye, with its stone houses, narrow streets, boutique hotels and street tables. Alacati has a rich nightlife, and the night market on the seaside is open until morning. The area is also the port of Alacati, home to the famous Alacati Yacht Marina, designed by French architect Francois Spoerry and his son Yves Spoerry. There are many theories about the formation of Alacati's name. One ancient source calls it "Alaçatı", while another source calls it "Alaca At", which is used throughout the Red Horse region of Türkiye. "Alaca At" is based on a story that the city lord of Alaçat had a red horse. When riding, the people respectfully called him "Alacaatlı (Red Horse Man)". This name later became "Alaçatı" ”. There are also some claims that "Alaçatı" originated from a story about a strong wind that caused the laundry room to be blown away. Before the population exchange between Greece and Turkey, Muslim refugees from Greece settled here, and "Alaçatı" has been used in the town and port area since then. Alacati is built with stone houses, colorful windows, narrow streets and sidewalks, and an Ottoman house in the center that is over 100 years old. Alacati has been nominated by many windsurfing magazines and is the best choice for beginners to learn to windsurf because there is a shallow bay that makes beginners feel safe. Alaçatı Bay, known as one of the world's leading windsurfing destinations, has consistent and steady winds all year round. Alaçatı Windsurfing School meets international standards and provides materials for kayaking, kitesurfing, surfing and windsurfing. Novelist Michelle Culumduring captured inspiration here for her second novel, Alaçatili. It takes about an hour to drive from Izmir Airport or the city #urbanhumanitiesnotes

Your road trip in Turkey starts here! Rent a car at Izmir Airport and drive to Cesme. Turkey has right-hand traffic like China, so driving is easy. Pass by the Mediterranean town of Alacati, which has a history of over 150 years. The town is not crowded, but it is fresh and quiet. Flowers and plants, cats and dogs, historic stone houses, narrow but not dark streets, boutique B&Bs, and street-side tables. Walk through the warm sunlight in this cozy town and enjoy the exotic tranquility. Then drive on the wide road with the wind blowing, and you will feel very comfortable. Before you know it, you will arrive at the hotel you booked in Cesme at night. When you wake up in the morning, open the balcony door with a stunning color, and you will see the sunrise, the red dawn, the blue Aegean Sea, and the faintly visible Greece. A good start and a lucky choice!

Many people who travel to Turkey choose Istanbul and Cappadocia, and may know nothing about Izmir and not include it in their itinerary. In fact, there are many famous ruins here, as well as the beautiful Aegean Sea! Every alley in Izmir leads directly to the sea. Along the promenade of the bay, the blue sea, the bright sun, and the clear sky, the bay extends to the Aegean Sea. On the bench by the shore, someone is fishing leisurely. On the right, there is a long embankment extending into the sea. The classical yellow building at the top of the embankment is particularly eye-catching in the sun. The embankment has now been converted into many food streets, with many good restaurants and bars. It's worth a visit! What I like more is Cesme and Alacati, the twin stars of the Aegean Sea in Izmir. The two towns are only a quarter of an hour's drive apart. Alacati is a fairy tale town that looks more like Greece than Cesme. The houses in Alacati are different in shape and colorful. The corners of the streets and the walls are blooming bougainvillea. It seems to be walking in a children's watercolor painting. Every house or shop door, I have to stop and stay for a while, not willing to miss any details, the shape of the doors and windows, the tablecloth of the grid, the color matching of the sofa and pillows, even the small vase on the windowsill, everything is so pleasing to the eye, the beauty is pure, stylish and interesting. I even met a couple taking wedding photos here, bless them!
