Çesme marina introduces new standards of service and facilities for yachts of all types up to 60m in the increasingly popular cruising grounds of the eastern mediterranean. operated by camper & nicholsons marinas, a name synonymous with quality and excellence, this world-class marina offers the ideal base for exploring the delights of the aegean sea and its beautiful islands.

Çesme marina is a joint venture with IC Holding, one of turkey’s leading investment companies. Discerning yacht owners and captains can therefore be assured of not only a warm welcome but also the very best in amenities and vessel support, afloat and ashore.

set in a natural harbour accessible 24 hours a day, and adjoining the historic city of Çesme, the marina provides owners with international standards of service and hospitality – at the first truly luxury marina in turkey.

whether as a cruising base, or for a short stop-over or extended visit, Çesme marina will enhance your and your guests’ enjoyment of this stunning region to make the experience truly memorable and exceptional.

Çesme marina has been designed to be a unique holiday destination in its own right, the new development blending harmoniously with the traditional flavours and styles of this ancient and strategic mediterranean port.

AEGEANSEA

an ancient and strategic mediterranean port, Çesme is a charming place to visit, a great base for wintering your yacht in turkey and a perfect home port to explore the aegean – with the idyllic islands of chios, samos and Lesvos in easy reach.

Its position at the tip of the Izmir peninsula provides convenient access to the Aegean sea, with its estimated 300 islands large and small, as well as to the wider cruising grounds of the mediterranean. It is also a recognised port of entry to turkish waters.

the prevailing winds are northerly in the Aegean, and blow consistently from mid-morning to dusk in the summer months. they are generally weaker in the autumn and spring months, when the heat moderates over the continent, giving an extended season that is the envy of sailors from northern european climates.

Çesme lies at a convenient one-hour distance from Izmir, turkey’s cosmopolitan third largest city. Formerly known as smyrna, with a history dating back to 3,000 BC, Izmir has an international airport which is linked by direct flights to most european capitals.

tHe Çesme PenInsUlA, AsHORe AnD AFlOAt

the town of Çesme is rich in history, as can be seen in the museum, which is housed within the beautiful 16th century castle, just a short stroll from the centre. By way of contrast, modern Çesme abounds with lively nightlife in the holiday season after a day spent windsurfing, diving or kitesurfing off one of the beautiful local beaches.

the warm breezes and sun-drenched days make the area a fantastic yachting location, and bustling Çesme marina is the ideal evening venue to socialise or relax, enjoying the wide selection of local and international cuisine and refreshments, all within yards of your yacht.

the area is famous for its healing hot springs and spas and endless sandy beaches, and boasts some of the mediterranean’s most popular destinations for watersports enthusiasts. Onshore activities include cycling and climbing, while those seeking pure relaxation or therapy will enjoy the thermal baths at Ilica, where the water emerges from the ground at 60 degrees Celsius.

“ Imagine a state-of-the-art marina, with first class facilities for up to 400 yachts, located at the gateway to the Greek islands and Aegean coastline. Picture if you will a base so complete you need never leave. It sounds almost too good to be true, yet Turkey’s Çesme Marina ... offers all this and more.”

CHIOs AnD OInOUsses

Chios is a starkly beautiful island largely unspoilt by mass tourism, despite having some of the best beaches in the Aegean and some of the most fascinating medieval villages in the whole of Greece. Chios is well known for the great variety and quality of its seasonal fruits.

Oinousses is a small group of islands, known from ancient times for their famous wines, and renowned in modern times as the birthplace of prominent ship-owners, earning Oinousses the title of richest island in the world. Crystal clear waters characterise these islands.

lesVOs

lesvos is the third biggest island in Greece, with a coastline of 370 km. the capital city mytilini spreads from the large harbour up into the hills behind, and is crowned by an enormous castle, surrounded by a pine forest that reaches down to the shore and the beach.

lesvos is also considered the homeland of ouzo, due to the numerous brands produced on the island.

sAmOs

samos island lies in the heart of the central Aegean. Its main port, Vathi, resembles an amphitheatre built around a large bay, and offers services and marine infrastructure catering for the needs of vessels of all sizes.

the port of Pythagoreio is considered to be the oldest man-made port in the mediterranean sea, and today is one of the most tourist-developed areas of the island. Its blue flag beach was once the favourite bathing haunt of Anthony and Cleopatra.

tHe wIDeR AeGeAn

the cradle of western civilisation, the Aegean sea cruising region has an area of 214,000 km2. with literally thousands of islands to explore, from uninhabited rocky outcrops to major centres such as Rhodes and Kos, the Aegean sea is where one might happily spend a lifetime of blissful cruising.

Its many anchorages for yachts, historical sites and varied centres of population can turn any and every cruise into an odyssey – of culture, gastronomy, activity or pure leisure.

IstAnBUl tO mARmARIs

Çesme is perfectly situated as a stopover port for the many yachts that make the annual journey from Instanbul in the north to marmaris and the beaches of the south. the new marina facilities and local amenities now make Çesme a destination in its own right, so that your stopover might well turn into an extended stay.

Çesme marina allows owners the classic experience of pulling up alongside and immediately being at the centre of activity in a charming and historic harbour town.

the architectural design of the marina reflects the local Çesme style, which is drawn from the simplicity of traditional Aegean stone buildings.

Çesme marina comes to life at night, when a vibrant, fun atmosphere pervades in the restaurants, cafés and bars along the promenade. the ambience and choice of fare are truly cosmopolitan and offer something for everyone, to eat in or take away.

there are also numerous quality restaurants to choose from in the old town of Çesme. when it comes to shopping, the marina is a 'town within a town', boasting outlets bearing the most prestigious international brands.

Other retail and service amenities include yacht rental and brokerage, sailing school, car rental, opticians, art gallery, crafts, music and book store, technology centre and children’s entertainment centre.

“ Here you have not only built the infrastructure of a luxury marina in record time, but you have created an air of established efficiency through a very pleasant, helpful and professional team of people who were mostly ‘rookies’ a few months ago. We are very impressed and, as you know, have already contracted to keep Dream Maker at Çesme Marina for at least the next 12 months.”
