The biggest fortress we've been to. Everything is well maintained, it is safe to walk. There are railings everywhere. There are small museums.
From above there are magnificent views of the sea, the port and the city.
Admission is 6 euros for adults and children over 7.
The place is very beautiful, but! It is very difficult to park a car. There is a sooooo small paid parking lot, just under the fortress to the right. After 11 it is already filled. The cost is 150 liras per hour. A little further from the fortress, you can board pleasure boats. However, they all depart around 10-10.30 and walk all day. The place itself is historical and significant for the Russian Navy. A must-visit. But the sooner the better.
We were in Cesme passing by on a liner. I liked the city very much. I hope that I will come again. The fortress is beautiful, ancient, everything is very comfortably equipped.
A wonderful museum, many interesting exhibits. I was especially pleased with the portrait of Catherine the Great at the entrance to the fortress, the page of history associated with the victory of the Russian fleet is well reflected. The information on the stands is duplicated in English.
Красивая крепость, небольшие музейные залы, в том числе экспозиция, посвящённая Чесменскому морскому сражению. Понравилось и взрослым, и детям. Великолепный вид на залив. Во внутреннем дворике можно встретить черепах :)
A beautiful fortress with a fantastic view of the sea, just for the sake of it it is worth coming to Cesme. There is a museum inside, a whole hall is dedicated to the events of the Russian-Turkish War and the Battle of Chesma.

An interesting historical place, especially pleasant to the eyes of a Russian tourist. There are many different cafes for every taste under the walls of the fortress.
Отличная крепость-музей в Чешме!!!! Обязательно к посещению в этом городе. Качественно отреставрированная крепость 14 века!!!! В крепости разбросаны не большие залы с экспонатами.
Рекомендую!!!!
Красота необыкновенная, все так хорошо содержат, если бы не знала, что русские завоевали и победили турок при Екатерине2, не за что не поверила бы, что ценят русскую нацию.
