- Day 2
- Seferihisar – Sığacık – Urla - Germiyan Village - Barbaros Village - Bademler Village – Çeşme - Alaçatı
- 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. After our free time ends, we head to our hotel for dinner and accommodation.

- On the 3rd day of our İzmir Alaçatı Sığacık Foça Tour, after our breakfast at the hotel, we discover Foça, the capital of the Phokaia people who lived in Anatolia. You won't want to leave Foça, where we will see the best examples of the traces of the Phokaia, who also founded the famous French city of Marseille, and the reflections of Greek architecture. At the time determined by our guide, we board the boat (Extra) to start our boat tour. We see the siren rocks, famous for stories of mermaids, which were once inhabited by them but now serve as a home to the world-famous and endangered Mediterranean monk seals. After that, we view Orak Island, Fig Island, English Cape, Lighthouse Island, Metallic Island, and the small sea coves, and take swimming breaks in these bays. After having lunch (Extra) on the boat, we return to Foça. We board our bus and bid farewell to this charming town and head to Bergama. To reach the Bergama Acropolis, we take the cable car (Extra).
- Instead of buying papyrus from Egypt, we will explore that Bergama invented parchment or pergament, home to the second largest library of the ancient world with 200,000 parchments, and host to four theaters, temples, a water distribution system, and one of the seven churches that will stand in the doomsday, along with Zeus Altar. We will explore this significant capital with our guide. After visiting the world’s steepest theater, Heroon and Kızıl Avlu, we visit the Onyx stone workshop to receive information about the stones and make our purchases. Then we gather on our bus and begin our return journey. Our İzmir Alaçatı Sığacık Foça Tour comes to an end, and we start our return journey.
