[August 2012] From my hotel in Cesme, if I went right, there was Cesme town, if I went left there was Alacati.
According to my guidebook, Alacati was forgotten small Greek town until a few years ago when someone converted one traditional Greek house into a boutique hotel.
This hotel became very popular, so since then, most of the old houses have been converted into hotels and restaurants.
Now Alacati is a little bit posh tourists town.
Those tourists are not foreign but Turkish.
They come here from Istanbul for holiday.
When we was walking in the town, suddenly the Azan started and I got very surprised, because the atmosphere of Alacati does not fit with the Islamic call at all.
