After breakfast, we move towards Seferihisar to start our tour. We panoramically view Seferihisar, the first Cittaslow quiet town in Turkey (2009), and arrive in Sığacık, which has been the filming location of many series and movies. We see the Ottoman Castle built by Kanuni Sultan Süleyman and the original houses that have not lost their structure in the Inner Castle and stroll through the streets. We are given free time for shopping at the producer market set up within 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 villages in Izmir and even in Turkey. It will offer a different atmosphere with its nature, stone houses, and market area displaying local products. After our village visit, we take a bus to Urla. In Urla, we visit the famous poet and writer Necati Cumalı House.

We go to the Urla Women Producer Market, where women from Urla have established a cooperative to sell their produced goods and have free time for shopping. Then, we visit Barbaros Village, where Turkey's first Scarecrow Festival is held. Since the scarecrows have become residents of the village due to the attraction and employment they bring, while walking through the streets of the village with scarecrows, you will not be able to resist the creativity and uniqueness of the streets. Leaving the scarecrows behind, we head to Germiyan Village, which is the only village in Turkey that has joined the Slow Food movement. We have free time to capture beautiful views in the streets adorned with flower motifs. After our free time, we board our bus and move to our next stop, Çeşme.

Once we finish our visit, we have a panoramic view of the Caravanserai built by Kanuni Sultan Süleyman in 1528. Then we enjoy some free time in Çeşme. During this free time, we recommend you to taste the ice creams unique to Çeşme. After our free time, we board our bus and head to Alaçatı. With its narrow streets built on cobblestone and the combination of Greek and Ottoman architecture, Alaçatı will leave us in awe. We have free time in the streets of Alaçatı until the time determined by our guide. During this free time, you can take colorful photos in front of historical stone houses to make your tour unforgettable.
