Listed on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List, Çeşme Castle is one of the most iconic landmarks in Çeşme and a must-visit for both local and international tourists. Built in 1508, the castle stands majestically with its well-preserved architecture and commanding views over the Aegean Sea and the town of Çeşme. It also houses the Çeşme Museum, allowing visitors to explore thousands of priceless artifacts up close.

From the castle’s extensive walls, you can enjoy panoramic views of Çeşme, while the stone rooms within the inner castle offer a journey back in time. Sunset is especially magical here, perfect for postcard-worthy photos. During the summer months, events such as the International Music Festival and Çeşme Festival turn the castle into a lively venue for unforgettable evenings.
