After our overnight journey, we stop for breakfast in Çiçekliköy in the morning for the Swimming Break Aegean Tour. After our breakfast break, we set off toward Çeşme. We give free time in Çeşme. During this free time, we recommend that you try the ice creams unique to Çeşme. After our free time, we board our bus and head to our next stop, Alaçatı. Alaçatı, with its narrow streets paved with cobblestones and colorful streets where Greek and Ottoman architecture blend together, will captivate us. After receiving brief information about Alaçatı from our guide, before we begin walking through the streets of Alaçatı, we take our lunch break for the famous kumru sandwich. After our lunch, we give free time until the time determined by our guide. During free time, you can make the tour unforgettable by taking colorful photos in front of the Historic Stone Houses on the streets of Alaçatı. At the end of the free time, we move to Ilıca Beach to shake off our sweet tiredness. Ilıca Beach, one of the most important Blue Flag beaches in our country, is one of the rare places in the world with its deep blue sea and Ilıca hot spring waters. Here we take a swimming break of about 1-1.5 hours. Our guests who do not want to swim can take a walk along the beach or sip their coffee in cafes against the magnificent view of the sea.

Time flows differently here; another stop full of traces of the ancient world will be the Ancient City of Ephesus, one of the most important legacies in human history. As we step into the depths of history in the dazzling brilliance of marble, we set out to explore monumental structures such as the Agora, Ancient Theatre, Terraced Houses, Odeon, Gate of Hercules, Trajan Fountain, Baths, and the magnificent Library of Celsus, accompanied by our guide’s explanations. Every stone, every column tells us the dream of thousands of years ago.
After our magical visit in Ephesus, we have our lunch to rest our bodies and refresh our souls. Then we set off toward Şirince, wrapped in a thousand shades of green. Our journey, gliding among olive trees, takes us to a charming Greek village known by its old name, Çirkince. Şirince enchants you as you step through its streets, like a fairy-tale land hidden for centuries.
After visiting Şirince’s Wine House and Wine Museum, we begin to wander through the colorful streets of this unique village. Nostalgic stone houses greeting you at every corner, villagers exchanging warm smiles, and natural beauty are waiting to make this tour unforgettable. You can shop, take photos in the village’s magnificent atmosphere, and lose yourself without realizing how time has passed.
After the fairy-tale moments we spend in Şirince, we begin our return journey. On this unique trip, we head toward Istanbul, leaving you with unforgettable memories. We say goodbye by dropping our guests off at the points where we picked them up, until we meet again at the next event.
