Çeşme is a lively place throughout the summer months, offering an ever-changing variety of entertainment, sporting activities and other attractions. One annual highlight is the International Çeşme Song Contest and Festival, organised by the local municipality.

Izmir, the third largest city in Turkey, is less than an hour away and provides the full range of concerts, theatres, galleries, cinemas and other cultural highlights that you’d expect from a modern, cosmopolitan city.
