A Natural Start and Pearls of the Aegean
We begin surrounded by greenery in a peaceful atmosphere. After recharging our energy with Çiçekliköy's famous village breakfast (extra), we set our course for Alaçatı, the town of wind and stone houses. As you stroll through Alaçatı's narrow streets adorned with bougainvillea, you'll capture a unique photo frame at every corner and get lost in the fairy-tale ambiance of boutique shops and windmills. Next, we move to one of the Aegean's most popular stops, Çeşme. We enjoy a seaside walk under the shadow of Çeşme Castle and savor this stylish port city.
A Crystal Blue Break and the Heart of History
The day's most refreshing stop is undoubtedly Ilıca Beach. With its fine sand and shallow waters, the 2-hour swimming break offered here provides a wonderful opportunity to embrace the cool waters of the Aegean. After refreshing ourselves, we head south to the lively shores of Kuşadası and then to one of humanity's most magnificent heritage sites, the Ephesus Ancient City. Walking between the Library of Celsus and the ancient theater, you will witness the grandeur of the Roman era.
A Fairy Tale Mountain Village: Şirince
We conclude our tour with Şirince, a charming village hidden among olive groves, just as its name suggests. While wandering through Şirince's cobblestone streets, famous for its fruit wines, elderberry syrup, and coffee served in the sand, you will feel the hospitality of the Aegean villagers. You'll find peace in the texture of old Greek houses and wrap up the tour by shopping for local products for your loved ones.
