Cesme Beach - izmir

First colonised as a health resort thanks to the many thermal springs in Ilica, which second century AD geographer Pausanius pronounced the finest in the region, Cesme (meaning 'fountain' and pronounced cheshmeh) became a major Byzantine and Ottoman port until Izmir outgrew it.

The reality probably doesn't live up to the wish but it is a pleasantly laid-back little town, with great beaches, well centred for sightseeing along the coast and plenty of life without the frenetic excess partying that goes on elsewhere.
