Car Rental Guide for Transportation to Cesme Beaches
Çeşme beaches are visited not only by vacationers but also by people residing in Izmir. It is quite possible to commute from Izmir Center to Çeşme for a day. However, the number of vehicles that need to be changed during transportation is quite high. For this reason, those who do not have their own vehicle are recommended to rent a car.
A person living in Yeşilyurt should first take the subway to Fahrettin Altay and then take bus number 984 to Urla. From Urla, he/she can take bus number 760 to reach Çeşme Center.
A simple calculation here requires at least three vehicles to be changed. When we calculate the number of people to go and the road fees, renting a car from Duray Rant A Car for transportation to Çeşme beaches becomes quite advantageous.
