Cesme is a small city, and it would take around 15-20 minutes to drive around. Any of the recommended hotels, or around those areas would be convenient.

You can definitely find anything you please around Çeşme. You can find a lot of vacation homes on Airbnb which are cosy and well located.

We would definitely recommend this option if you would like to stay as a group in one place for a more peaceful and private experience.

Izmir is the city you want to fly to. If preferred, before the wedding, you may enjoy Istanbul, which takes 50 minutes plane ride to Izmir. After Izmir, a cab must be taken as Cesme is an hour away from the Izmir airport. In Cesme, taxis are widely used, so if preferred, it is not a must to rent a car in Izmir. Although, we do recommend if one drives.

Yes! In fact, we recommend that you use Uber as Taxi fares may vary on your driver.

The day can get as hot as 30°C but the temperatures might drop to around 22°C after sunset.

No, please buy bottled water from the stores. In both Türkiye and Mauritius, it is customary to be charged for water bottles in restaurants.

Turks are well versed in foreign languages (says Murat). You will always find someone who speaks (some) English and may be surprised by other languages.

We will also provide a one pager of most used words/phrases for you to study or print!
