Lonely Planet review for Shipyard

Just beyond the marina are the recently restored remains of the shipyard. In 1770 the entire Ottoman fleet was destroyed by the Russians at Çeşme and had to be rebuilt from scratch in boatyards like this. The shipyard was fortified as a defence against pirates in the 19th century. Its tower occasionally hosts art exhibitions, while the rest of the site is mainly used as a children's playground and is principally memorable for the views from the top, where there are several old tombstones dating from the period when the Latin alphabet was replacing Arabic.
