Why we love it
The setting
Alavya sits in Alacati, the old part of Cesme known for its stone houses, narrow lanes and Aegean light. The hotel has 25 rooms across restored buildings, with thick stone walls, vaulted ceilings and a garden full of olive trees. It is a short walk from the Alacati market street, so you can be among the cafes and shops in a few minutes, then come back to a quiet courtyard. The pace here is slow, and the design leans on natural materials rather than gloss.
What to expect
Rooms are individually furnished, so each one feels a little different, with stone detailing and soft textiles. Breakfast is included and served each morning at the hotel. There is an outdoor pool, a spa with massages and body treatments, a sauna and a small fitness area. Two on-site restaurants and a bar mean you do not have to go far for dinner. Parking and Wi-Fi are free. Check-in is from 15:00 and checkout is until 12:00.
Things to do nearby
Alacati's market street is the main draw, with its blue-shuttered houses, antique shops and seafood spots, all within walking distance. The windsurf beaches of Alacati Bay are a short drive away and draw people through the summer. Cesme town centre sits about 7.8 km from the hotel. Day boats and the marina are easy to reach for a day on the water. Greek islands like Chios are visible across the strait and reachable by ferry.
Best for
Couples and design-minded travellers who want a calm boutique base in Alacati with easy access to the market street, beaches and Aegean dining.
