Alacati Pazaryeri Camii

Nestled in the town of Alacati, a short drive from the beach resorts of Cesme, Alacati Pazaryeri Camii stands as a testament to the region’s rich Greek and Turkish-Muslim heritage. Originally constructed as an Orthodox church in the 19th century, the building was later converted into a mosque following the population exchange between Greece and Turkey post-World War I. Today, visitors can explore this historic landmark, observing its architectural transformation and the layers of history embedded in its walls.
