Jointly owned by Camper & Nicholsons Marinas and Turkish investment company IC Ibrahim Çeçen Holding, the marina offers 400 berths for yachts up to 60m (197ft).

Çesme also offers all marine technical facilities, a fully serviced boatyard with 80-tonne travel hoist, chandlery, Carrefour supermarket and a full range of luxury retail outlets as well as cafes, bars and restaurants.

A yacht brokerage, Azimut and Rodman dealerships, boutique hotel and yacht club also available on site.

"Together with our partners IC Holding we wanted to create a marina with a difference, where yachts can moor in the heart of a vibrant harbour town, and visitors can experience the authentic and unique charm of Çesme's historic waterfront," says Nick Maris, chairman of C&N Marinas. "We are excited at the level of interest this special place is attracting among Turkish and international yacht owners."
