One of the great things about living in Izmir is its close proximity to the beaches. In less than hour by bus you can find yourself relaxing and swimming at a nearby beach. The picture on the left is of me on the bus. They are very small buses (more like vans) and very cheap. Towards the end of May things start heating up around here so starts the beginning of beach season. So a few weekends ago we grabbed our suits and headed to the beach. We choose Akkum beach, which means bright sand. This beach is better known for its windsurfing than its actual beach. Nonetheless we had an enjoyable day. About 2 km from the beach in the town of Sigacik is a wonderful Sunday crafts market. Here you can purchase handmade goods including food at very reasonable prices. We failed to take any pictures of the beach but remembered to snap a few photos at the market. It was a very small and very cute walled in town. Another great day in Turkey!
