Çeşme, Coastal district and resort town in İzmir Province, Turkey.
The peninsula city stretches along the Aegean Sea with blue waters, sandy beaches, and thermal springs at an elevation of 25 meters.
The region housed the ancient Greek settlement of Erythrae, later transforming into a key Ottoman trading port during the Middle Ages.
Recent excavations uncovered a 2500-year-old temple dedicated to Aphrodite, with numerous artifacts and inscriptions marking it as a sacred location.
Regular ferry services connect Çeşme to the Greek island of Chios, while a six-lane highway provides direct access to İzmir, 85 kilometers east.
The area contains multiple Ottoman fountains throughout the city, reflecting its Turkish name meaning fountain and its Greek predecessor Krini.
