The island transfer is done by minibuses (the fees for the minibuses on the island are the guests' responsibility). We go to Dereköy, the only Greek village located at the westernmost point of the island. Thanks to its strategic location and Pirgos Port, Dereköy has developed more economically and socially compared to other villages. After a pleasant walk among the Laundry House, houses, and historic structures with our guide, we will have some free time. After the free time, we proceed to Zeytinliköy, which was once the most social settlement area on the island and is still one of the most visited villages today. We take a short break in Zeytinliköy, known for its Dibek Coffee and Mastic Pudding. Then we head to Aydıncık (Kefaloz) Beach, one of Gökçeada's most famous beaches. We swim at this 1200-meter-long, golden sandy beach until the end of the day. For lunch, we recommend tasting seafood or delicacies made from sheep and goats fed with thyme in the mountains. During our swimming break, you can take a mud bath in Tuz Lake, which is beneficial for the skin, and enjoy the sea and sand.

- On the second day of the Gökçeada Bozcaada Assos Ayvalık Tour, after the breakfast at the hotel, we head to the Geyikli ferry terminal to visit Bozcaada. While waiting for the Bozcaada ferry, we enjoy tea or coffee on the beach. Since buses cannot pass to the island, we will cross on foot. After taking the essentials for swimming in a small carry bag, we board the ferry and after a half-hour journey, we arrive at Bozcaada. Upon approaching Bozcaada, we visit the impressive Bozcaada Castle with our guide. Then we start walking through the charming streets of the island. We explore the Turkish and Greek neighborhoods of the island, and then we have free time throughout the day. During this free time, guests can visit the Talay Winery where island-specific wines are produced and shop. Guests who want to swim can go to Ayazma Beach or Aquarium Cove to enjoy the magnificent sea. Those who prefer can go to the windmills to take stunning photos and enjoy the scenery. (As there is no bus passage to the island, minibuses for transfers to the beaches and windmills are the guests' responsibility.) We gather at the time determined by our guide and leave Bozcaada by ferry, boarding our bus waiting at Geyikli terminal.

- On the last day of the Gökçeada Bozcaada Assos Ayvalık Tour, after breakfast at the hotel, we board our bus and head to Behramkale, known as Assos, one of the most important centers of the Ancient World. When we arrive at Behramkale Village, we get out of our vehicle at the entrance to the village and climb to the acropolis where a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena, built on a 238-meter high andesite rock, is located. Under the guidance of our guide, we see the Temple of Athena, which is built in the first Doric order of the ancient period. You will be amazed by the stunning view of the Aegean Sea after seeing the temple. After a short photo break, we have some free time at the village square, where you can enjoy the famous mastic Turkish coffee cooked in a cup or shop from the products made by the locals. After our time here, we move towards Ayvalık.
- We start our tour with Cunda Island, also known as Alibey Island, by crossing Turkey's first Bosphorus Bridge. With a nostalgic tour led by our guide, we invite you to a journey through time in Cunda Island. We take photos of the Taksiryannis Church, which is best preserved among the eight oldest churches. While walking on the cobblestones, the old stone houses where the Greeks lived will enchant us and allow us to capture wonderful photos. We have free time until the time set by our guide. We have lunch and then gather in our vehicle, passing by Ayvalık Harbor and old Ayvalık Houses while heading to the Devil's Table.
- Once we reach the Devil's Table, you'll have a view of all the Ayvalık Islands, Edremit Gulf, and Lesbos Island from above. Here you will see a large footprint. It is said that this footprint belongs to the devil and that his other foot is on the opposite mountain, where people also drop coins into the footprint while making wishes. After gathering information about the Devil's Table from our guide, we have free time. During this free time, you can enjoy tea or coffee while taking in the magnificent view and immortalizing the moment with photos. We then proceed to Sarımsaklı Beach, which has a 7 km long and 100 meters wide beach, a favorite resort for thousands of tourists every year. Here we have a swimming break until the time defined by our guide. After our swim break, we have free time to shop at the factory outlet for local products. Our tour, Gökçeada Bozcaada Assos Ayvalık, ends, and we start our return journey. We say farewell to you by dropping you off at the points we picked you up from and hope to meet again in the next Turdan Tura organization.
