It is a pleasant enough, popular sun and beach resort town, where two thirds of the district population is concentrated, is located 53 miles (85 km) west of İzmir, the largest metropolitan city in Turkey’s Aegean Region. Çeşme has two neighbor districts, Karaburun to the north and Urla to the east, both of which are also town of İzmir Province.
