Alacete

There is a city about 45 minutes from Izmir called Alacete where everyone moves to during the summer, rents beach houses, opens up restaurants and stores and parties for 3 months. This time of year it is nearly empty with almost all of the stores closed and the beaches completly deserted. I'm not exactly sure why because it is still 70 degrees and sunny but I love going there because it is so peaceful and beautiful.
