- After our night journey, we arrive at Çiçekliköy for a Traditional Breakfast break. After our breakfast, we set off towards Seferihisar to start our tour. We panoramically view Seferihisar, the first Cittaslow quiet city of Turkey (2009), and arrive in Sığacık, where many series and movies have been filmed. We visit the Ottoman Castle built by Kanuni Sultan Suleiman and the original houses that have not lost their structure in the Inner Castle, and we stroll through the streets. We have free time for shopping in the producers' market set up inside the castle. Then we head to Urla Bademler Village, where Turkey's first village theater was established. The village is one of the most valuable in İzmir and even in Turkey, offering a different atmosphere with its nature, stone houses, and the market area showcasing local products. After our village visit, we return to our vehicle and proceed to Urla. In Urla, we visit the house of the famous poet and writer Necati Cumalı. We then pass through the Art Street that consists of Rum Houses and feel as if we have entered a different time period. We go to the Urlalı Women Producer Market, where local women sell their products through a cooperative, and we have free time for shopping. Afterward, we visit Barbaros Village, where Turkey's first Oyuk Festival (Scarecrow) is held. Because the scarecrows have become a part of the village due to the employment and attraction they bring, you won't be able to resist the creative designs and the different touch they add to the streets. Leaving the scarecrows behind, we head to Germiyan Village, the only village in Turkey that participates in the Slow Food movement. We have free time to capture beautiful views in the flower-patterned streets. After our free time, we get back on our bus and head to Çeşme. In Çeşme, our first stop will be Çeşme Castle, one of the most important castles in Western Anatolia, where we can see both Genoese and Ottoman architectural styles. After receiving information from our guide about Çeşme Castle, we start to explore the castle. Once we finish our castle tour, we panoramically view the Caravanserai built in 1528 by Kanuni Sultan Suleiman. Then, we have free time in Çeşme. We recommend trying the unique ice creams of Çeşme during this free time. After our free time, we board our bus and head to Alaçatı. Alaçatı, with its narrow streets and colorful houses built on Arnavut stone pavements, blending Greek and Ottoman architecture, will enchant us. We have free time in Alaçatı streets until the time determined by our guide. During our free time, you can take colorful photos in front of the historical stone houses to make the tour unforgettable.
