Comfort in Cesmee
Cannot beat location right in Cesme port with small boats within 50m of front door, with the big cruise and ferry ship landing at straight line view from harbor-front rooms. Hotel guests walk pass the evidently delighted diners of the charming and somewhat off beat gastropub to reach the reception desk, the place featuring international license plates and other plates made with humorously irreverent messages. Che has a place in Cesme. Each suite is named, not numbered. Very friendly and helpful staff. Diners and hotel guests alike enjoy the retro LP player in the pub featuring tunes from Big Band to Turkish fast tempo. Try the US$5 fish sandwich, literally Fish Bread. The Alarga room on Floor 2 is a bit dated and small, but sufficient for two close guests not minding tight quarters. Is 2 to 3 star hotel, adequate and comfortable, but bathroom shows its wear, needing some renovation and upgrades to satisfy guests who may relish a more luxurious and well-lit bath experience, but for those ranking the relatively reasonable price and superb location & view higher and accustomed to the Roughing It almost camping like mentality, this is a great place to sleep & shower while spending the day exploring Cesme and environs. Great stop for next day ferry to Chios. Two minute walk to Tekke beach, a small but pleasant family friendly area. On way to Tekke, the city has build several ladders for bathers to step in and climb out of the sparikling Aegean waters. Recommend it!
