| Alacati is a charming town located on the Cesme peninsular on Turkey's beautiful Aegean coast. Virtually unknown to British and European tourists, it is a mecca for windsurfers and kiteboarders thanks to the area's strong winds - which also provide a welcome escape from the Turkish summer heat. Overlooked by a row of stone windmills, the town's cobbled streets are lined with stone houses, shops and tavernas, and dotted with friendly guesthouses and boutique hotels. The shops sell local crafts, jewellery and antiques; while the village square is filled with market stalls and open-air cafes. |

| Icmeler is a Turkish beach resort, off the country’s southeast coast. Lying at the confluence of the Aegean and Mediterranean seas, Icmeler seems to offer something for everyone without the frills and whistles that Marmaris, which is another Turkish resort located in close proximity to Icmeler, offering to all. It is not as loud, and not as crowded as Marmaris, yet has its own charm in a rustic sort of a manner. Icmeler is in fact popularly referred to as a village resort, which has all the basic amenities that any reputable beach resort should have like sparkling beaches with shimmering sands, with rollicking hotels in the vicinity, without the hangover of a tourist spot that is bursting at its seams. |
