Ilıca — a town noted for its thermal springs, located 5 km east of ÃeÅme, on the northern coast of peninsula.
The Greek island of Chios is just opposite ÃeÅme, about an hour away by ferry, and thanks to quite frequent ferries can be done as a day-trip from ÃeÅme. The ferry departs at 11AM from ÃeÅme and the return trip is at 5PM from Chios 4PM on Sundays.
