Alacati is a sleepy fishing town, on the west coast of Turkey, about an hour or so from the city of Izmir. The place has now been discovered as a great weekend getaway, a place to chill, stroll, eat, drink, pass out, and then do it again the next day. Let's visit.
Old stone windmills greet you, kind of the town's landmark.
Another landmark, the central mosque. Keeping things spiffy, a cobblestone crew working in the early morning chill. Light 'em, if you got 'em.
Alacati is a low slung town, filled with cute whitewashed houses, apartments with stone and bright color accents. Restored buildings next to ruins.
Muslim cemetery. Cool headstone with fez top.
Another example of the typical architecture, dreamy.
Some bling. Gold statue and over-sized lemon. Hand for scale.
A few minutes beyond the town is the Aegean Sea, sparkling.
Another landmark, the central mosque. Keeping things spiffy, a cobblestone crew working in the early morning chill. Light 'em, if you got 'em.
