Each place has its advantages and disadvantages. In Turkey, I have two cities that have become my favorite and native cities. These are Cesme and Kemer. Why do we change our place of residence? First, these are the friends, we want to see, of course.
But today I want to talk about those natural phenomena and other moments that I like in each of these places.
Every time we go to Cesme, my 
Unlike her, I enjoy the cool, clean air. I can't stand too much heat. And despite the fact that the water in the Aegean Sea is really 4 degrees lower than the water in the Kemeru Mediterranean Sea, this is not a significant negative for me. But I found my secluded paradise here. That's what I called a remote beach where I go to swim and sunbathe in the evening and stay there for two hours listening to the waves lapping against the shore.
Also, I get a lot of pleasure from the road itself when I go from the beach to the city center in the evening. Today I will show you my walk and you will see all these moments of my pleasure!
I pass the small sandy city beach, which is crowded and quite dirty. The bottom of the sea here contains sharp stones and you can really injure your feet. You have to walk a long way to get to the depths. I don't like shallow sea.
After a few minutes I find myself on the road up which is surrounded by pine trees and this is where my pleasure begins.
The wind brings the beautiful aroma of the sea and pine trees. I really like to be alone with nature. That's why it's really a wonderful gift for me - to find a cozy natural environment so close from center of sity.
After a few minutes I can already see my favorite remote beach. There is a bridge here, made for people who live in luxury villas. I can only swim here. Because the bottom of the Aegean Sea is really dangerous near the shore. To go deep, there is a risk of stepping on sharp stones, as well as sea urchins.
After swimming, I walk on and there are strange stone slabs that make great ledges to sit and lie on. For me, it is much more pleasant than the sand that remains on the clothes. In addition, the stoves are hot and I like to have this heat for my body, in the evening when the sun's rays are not too burning.
I get maximum pleasure from the fact that here I hear only the sounds of nature. Two hours of being in this secluded paradise fills me with harmony and happiness. I love looking at shells and colorful stones. And also hermit crabs that crawl on the slabs.
After enjoying the sunset over the sea, after 20 I slowly make my way back to the city, and this is where my road becomes truly magical. Pine trees create beautiful pictures against the background of the sea. In the distance you can see a ship and a mountain on which there are energy-generating windmills - the business card of the city of Çeşme.
I stop for a moment and approach the cliff. Here you can see from the heights how beautifully the waves are splashing in the sea, boats are sailing. And on the horizon, which is already red from the setting sun, the Greek island of Chios can be seen. That is why I call Cesme my Greek Turkey.
Every time I came here, I came to this shore of the Aegean Sea. I watched the sunset here in October, I swam here in winter, and now I'm here in July. Every time this place gives me happiness. I hope my photos can convey to you the beauty of this beautiful place. Enjoy!
I came to the city beach late, when the lanterns were already beautifully illuminating the sea and the ship. People in the restaurant by the sea were having a good time. Too expensive for me to afford to dine here. But we know a wonderful Turkish restaurant in Cesme, where for only $7 we get three lentil soups, pickled peppers, salad and hot Turkish bread 😊
One year and five months have passed since we left our native Ukraine because of the war. Little did I know then that I was on the longest journey of my life.
I thank everyone for your support ❤️
