The Aegean Coast
- Alaçatı and Çeşme: stone-house lanes, boutique hotels, windsurfing and clear bays; a lively summer close to İzmir.
- Bodrum: the castle, marina, white houses and the peninsula’s bays, with nightlife and upmarket stays.
- Kuşadası and Selçuk: close to ancient Ephesus, with beaches and family-friendly hotels.
- Ayvalık: olive groves, Cunda Island and a quieter holiday in the northern Aegean.
- İzmir: the Kordon seafront, historic bazaars and city hotels for business trips.
The Mediterranean Coast
- Alanya: Cleopatra Beach, the castle and a long swimming season.
- Side: an ancient city and resorts lining sandy beaches.
- Kaş and Kemer: bays where the mountains meet the sea, diving and nature.
Which Coast Suits You?
The Çeşme peninsula suits travellers after boutique hotels, food and wind sports; Bodrum is the choice for nightlife and marina life; Kuşadası and Selçuk combine ancient sites with family holidays. For all-inclusive resorts and sandy beaches, look at Side and Alanya on the Mediterranean, and for quiet bays and nature, Kaş and Kemer. Summer winds keep the Aegean cooler, while the Mediterranean is warmer and its season runs longer.
When to Go and Getting There
The swimming season along the coast runs from May to October, with June and September the most balanced months. İzmir Adnan Menderes and Milas-Bodrum airports serve the Aegean, and Antalya, Gazipaşa-Alanya and Dalaman serve the Mediterranean. For airport transfers, see Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB) transfers and the transfer links on each destination page.
Many travellers combine both coasts in one trip: a few nights in Çeşme or Bodrum followed by a week in a Mediterranean resort, linked by a domestic flight or a scenic drive along the coast.
