Çeşme Shopping & Retail Zones

As a relatively small seaside town, retail outlets are reasonably limited for Çeşme shopping, with Izmir offering a much broader array of stores, malls and specialist shopping. The following are the three main retail zones for Çeşme, plus locations in touristic Ilıca and the fashionable and rapidly evolving narrow boutique-lined streets in Alaçatı:

Çeşme Shopping & Retail Zones – Table of Contents

Çeşme High Street

Atatürk Boulevard, 35930 İzmir/Çeşme

Çeşme’s high street runs 500 metres along the far west end of Atatürk Boulevard from the Cumhuriyet Myd (Republic Square) roundabout to the castle and seafront. The street narrows at the Kumrucu Çınar restaurant and becomes primarily pedestrian, restricted to most, but not all, cars. Some shops are also along 3001 Sk., 2032 Sk., and beyond the castle on 1015 Sk. However, most are along or just off the high street. The street has clothing/shoe boutiques, jewellery, souvenir-, book-, toy-, telephone- shops, opticians, grocery stores, restaurants, cafes, bakery/patisseries, ice cream parlours, chemists, photo studios, banks and exchange offices as well as the Ayios Haralambos Church.

Çeşme Marina

The shopping centre mainly comprises boutique clothing stores, home textiles, sunglasses, jewellery, perfume, a toy shop, D&R music and bookstore, TeknoSA electronics, and a Carrefour supermarket.

Ilıca High Street

Location: Celal Bayar Mh., 5152. Sk., 35930 Çeşme/İzmir

Retail outlets in Ilıca are mainly spread along approximately 700 metres on 5065 Sk. and 5152 Sk. parallel to the beachfront and include beach stores, clothing stores, home furnishings, chemists, a post office, banks, hairdressers, garden stores, food stores, a bakery/patisserie, and several restaurants and fast food outlets.

Alaçatı Town Centre

Location: Kemalpaşa Cd. Alaçatı, 35930 Çeşme/İzmir

As a retail destination, Alaçatı has grown significantly in recent years and is far more expansive than Çeşme. The main shopping areas are mainly on Kemalpaşa Cd., Uğur Mumcu Cd. and Atatürk Boulevard (Alaçatı), but also spur streets such as 1001, 1005, 1039, 1042, 1043, 1044, 3000, 3046, 3048 and 3049 Sk. The labyrinth of narrow streets with sympathetically restored and recently built Greek-style sandstone buildings, adorned wooden balconies and brightly coloured doors and window frames/shutters are the main charm of Alaçatı. The alleys shaded by climbing flowers and canopies have attracted many art studios, antique stores, fashion boutiques, and other shops and stalls selling handicrafts, accessories, souvenirs, ceramics, jewellery, home decorations, and more common units and stores, including banks and grocery stores. Scattered between the shops are boutique hotel entrances, restaurants, patissiers, ice cream parlours, coffee shops, and bars with small and colourful wooden tables and chairs.
