Cesme

📌 This was a long day of travel, we started the day in Canakkale, we got the local bus to the main bus terminal which was no problem. We were then on a 6 hour bus to Izmir, one of Turkey's large city's which was a slow journey due to multiple stops. Once arriving at the Izmir bus terminal, we found the local bus to Cesme, approximately another hours drive to the coast.

📌 Once arriving in Cesme it was such a relief to leave the bags behind and go and find dinner. Cesme is a small coastal town surrounded by a yacht filled harbour and some old fortress walls, the streets are narrow and cobble stoned.

📌 We found a small bar who with the language barrier established we wanted some wine and they were very accommodating. We then moved on to find a place serving Mezze and tucked into dips, Halloumi like cheese, calamari and bread ofcourse. No dessert was needed after all this tasty food.Read more
