"Where Turkey Meets Greece!"
Alacati Tourism
Surrounded by the Aegean Sea, Alacati is a coastal town in Turkey. Nestled in the Cesme peninsula, this charming-old Greek town is popular for its vineyards, windmills and the sea. It is studded with natural stone houses with alcove windows and vibrantly coloured doors. Just a stoneÍs throw from Izmir, Alacati has an interesting history dating back to the 17th century and was recognised as a historical site in 2005.
Alacati is one of the best windsurfing destinations in the world. This off-beat location is excellent for a relaxing and quaint holiday, as there isn't much to do in this city. You can spend your days here walking down the narrow yet beautiful lanes, visiting a family-run vineyard or sunbathing at the beach. The highlight of Alacati is the collection of natural stone villas. The town remains studded with vintage houses framed by cobbled pathways and bougainvillaea flowers.
Being close to the coastline, Alacati is popular for beach hopping. Some popular beaches nearby are Delikli Koyu, Spiaggia Grande, Ilica Beach, and Wyndy Beach. Vacationing in Alacati will make you experience Turkey like a local. You can also participate in fish auctions or rejoice in the Alacati Herb Festival in March or Kite Festival at the beginning of the year.
