The best-known town on the Çeşme peninsula, with stone houses, windmills, narrow streets and a windsurfing bay.
Its story
Alaçatı is a town founded in the 19th century by Greek workers who came to the area, known for its stone houses and bay windows. The windmills on the hill are the town's symbol; they were once used to grind grain. The bay south of the town is a world-renowned windsurfing center thanks to its steady winds. The Herb Festival (Ot Festivali), held every spring, showcases Aegean herbs and cuisine. It gets very crowded in summer; spring and autumn are more pleasant.
