One of the legs of the PWA (windsurfing world cup) was held here, but it was moved to Alaçatı because of the terrorist attacks in our country. When the PWA canceled the Alaçatı leg, it not only hurt the championship, but foreign surfers were afraid to come here on vacation. Because of this, businesses that used to do well because of surfers were left without customers and had a hard time getting new ones. In the evenings, they became places to drink. And that changed the way people surf here, of course.
Should I Rent a Car?
It is possible to go from one place to another on foot in the center, but you will need a car to go to the sea. Because the places to swim are not within walking distance.
Also, Alaçatı vacations are usually experienced in a way to cover the whole Çeşme. In other words, Alaçatı is the center and people usually make trips to and from Alaçatı. Because there will be restaurants, beaches, bars, etc. throughout Çeşme, that you will not want to miss. To summarize, you should consider renting a car.
