Kum Beach

Kum Beach is a lovely sandy stretch along Turkey's west coast, sitting in the sweet spot between İzmir and the buzzing towns of Çeşme and Alaçatı. You anchor off here and dinghy in, with the relaxed resort atmosphere and easy access to Alaçatı's famous windsurfing scene and boutique streets just a short ride away. It's the kind of spot where you can do absolutely nothing or use it as a base to explore one of Turkey's most stylish corners.
