Day 2: IPSALA – METEORA - IOANNINA

After entering Greece, we take a breakfast break along the way. After the break, we depart for Meteora. Meteora is a sacred region containing numerous monasteries. During the early periods of Christianity, Orthodox monks built these monasteries, which are also included on the UNESCO World Heritage List, in order to retreat from the world and be closer to God. This region was under the sea millions of years ago. Over time, as the waters receded, these enormous rocks emerged, and the monks built their monasteries in areas at the very tops of the rocks. When they were built, there was no possible means of transportation to the tops of the rocks, so for years the monks reached the monasteries by pulling one another up in rope net elevators. After the tour, we depart for Ioannina. Upon reaching Ioannina, we begin our city tour. Ioannina, the largest city in the Epirus region, is also known as the city of Ali Pasha of Tepelena. The Aslanpasha Mosque, built in the name of Ali Pasha, also known as the Governor of Ioannina (the Lion of Ioannina), the Fethiye Mosque, Ali Pasha’s Tomb, the Byzantine Museum, and the Old Town within the Ottoman Castle are among the places we will see. Following our city tour, we have free time. After the free time, we proceed to our hotel for accommodation. Overnight in our hotel in Ioannina.

Day 3: IOANNINA - PARGA – PREVEZA – NAFPAKTOS - PATRAS

After breakfast at the hotel in the morning, our first stop is the town of Parga, where Pargalı İbrahim Pasha, Grand Vizier of Suleiman the Magnificent, was also born. In Parga, whose narrow streets and Ottoman architecture have survived to the present day without being altered, we take a panoramic city tour. After our Parga tour, we depart for Preveza. Preveza is remembered in Ottoman history for the naval battle fought in 1538 between the Ottoman naval forces under the command of Admiral Barbarossa Hayreddin Pasha and the Crusader fleet. After our city tour of Preveza, where we will see its small narrow streets and marina, we have free time. We then continue to Nafpaktos, known as İnebahtı during the Ottoman period. After free time in Nafpaktos, the site of the Battle of Lepanto in Ottoman history, we depart for Patras, the third-largest city in Greece. Upon arrival in the city, we proceed to our hotel.

During our Nafplion city tour, the Bourtzi Fortress built in the sea, Greece’s first parliament building, Three Admirals Square, and the colorful houses decorated with flowers are among the places to be seen.

Day 6: THESSALONIKI – KAVALA – PORTO LAGOS - ISTANBUL

After breakfast at the hotel in the morning, we complete our check-out procedures, leave our hotel, and depart for Kavala. One of the most important centers of Western Thrace, Kavala dates back to the 600s BC. Founded under the name Neapolis (New City) by immigrants from the Greek island of Thasos, the city remained Ottoman territory from 1387 to 1912. Today, Greeks make up a large part of the city’s population. In particular, Greeks living in Cappadocia were settled here during the population exchange that took place in 1923. Upon arriving in Kavala, we begin our panoramic city tour. Among the places to visit and see in Kavala is the Old Town, known as Panagia. The first place we will see on the way to the Old Town is the Church of Saint Nicholas. The mosque built by Suleiman the Magnificent in 1530 in the name of İbrahim Pasha was converted into a church in 1926 by shortening its minaret and turning it into a bell tower, and Christian mosaics were added to its front. Other historical places we will see on our tour include Kavala Castle, the house of Muhammad Ali Pasha of Egypt, the imaret, which is now used as a hotel, the aqueduct, and the Old Town within the castle. After our Kavala city tour, we depart for Porto Lagos. We will walk across the bridge built over Lake Vistonida and visit the Church of Agios Nikolaos. After a photo break overlooking the lake, we depart for the Kipi Land Border Gate in Greece. Upon arrival, we complete our passport and customs procedures, have the opportunity to shop at the duty-free store, and depart for the Ipsala Land Border Gate. Following the passport and customs procedures, we proceed to Istanbul via the Keşan – Tekirdağ – Silivri highway. After a meal break in Tekirdağ along the route, where there is an opportunity to taste the famous Tekirdağ meatballs, we depart for Istanbul. Upon arrival in Istanbul, we drop our guests off at the points included in the tour program along the return route and conclude our tour. We hope to meet you in our next organizations…
