Ilıca Beach — Attraction in Çeşme

I visited Ilıca beach in June, the most striking thing was the waste of the luxurious hotel that they are building on the first line of the beach. There was cement and wood as well as sharp objects all around. We visited the beach in the morning around 11 o’clock and it was obvious that no cleaning is done daily nor was there any cleaning personal, or any security. There was not even one rubbish bin. People throw all the rubbish along the beach and the municipality doesn’t even bother to place bins to avoid this problem. As a foreigner it seemed such an abuse of natural beauty and it is no wonder that I cannot recommend such a place or talk good things about Çesme abroad. In the pictures you can also see dead seagulls, which most probably had to eat the plastic waste that the people dumped on the beach and there was not only one. While walking along the beach we saw several dead animals on the shore. It is such a shame on part of Çesme municipality and I will send these photos to higher...

I love alacati beach Ilıca is the one of the most beautiful beaches in Turkey. This is a public beach with small cafes and parasol&sunbed renters. There is Sheraton Hotel near the middle of the beach but you can pass through it by walking. This beach is even more stunning if you can visit it when there isn't any wind from the northerly directions, unfortunately 90% of the time it is very windy! The food and drinks sold along the beach are modestly priced especially compared to the expensive beach clubs of Cesme. One parasol and two sunbeds can be rented for 20-25TL or you can directly lay on the warm sandy beach! The water is quite warm compared to other areas in Cesme thanks to warm underground water coming to surface near the beach. You should definitely check it out if you are in the region. One warning, on Sundays it is very crowded so try to avoid...

Ilıca Plajı is a beautiful public beach with white sand, a beach club, and shallow depth. Unfortunately, it is often crowded, especially in July and August.

This plajı is located 7 kilometers east of the center of Cesme, in the resort town of Ilyka. The length of the beach line is 2 kilometers, 200 meters of which belongs to the most luxurious Sheraton Cesme hotel in the resort of Cesme. The rest is publicly available.

There are umbrellas and sun loungers. The price is 150-300 liras for a set of an umbrella, a small table, two sun loungers, and two towels. The water on the Ilyka beach is considered curative, as the water of mineral springs comes out directly from the bottom. The depth is shallow (up to 1.5 meters) at a distance of up to 100 meters...
