Harbour & Year-round
Çeşme
Genoese-castle harbour district seat west of Alaçatı
Çeşme is the district seat, a Genoese-castle harbour town a short drive west of Alaçatı, broader and more workaday, with the daily ferry to Chios and a working town centre that runs year-round. The chapter accepts a handful of Çeşme rooms that earn it (the seafront Tophane, the proper meyhane row) but treats the rest as the wider peninsula context for the Alaçatı stone-village core.
