Alaçatı

Alaçatı is a beautiful town along the coast in the Izmir region of Turkey. It's known as a windsurfer's haven and really only has a 2-3 month busy season. It is by far the most charming place I have seen in Turkey so far. The merchants that live and work in the region (some only live there in the summers) told us that their low season with good weather is in May and September when the prices drop significantly. Here is how it looks:



Me... chilling in the streets. It was gorgeous and made me want to live there.

Most of the restaurants, cafes and hotels had outdoor seating like this. So relaxed and chill.

And this is one of the beaches near the town where the windsurfing is paramount. It's worth the visit for sure!!
