DAY 2: CESME-ALACATI-ILICA BEACH SWIMMING BREAK-IZMIR
After our breakfast, in Çeşme, the most popular place in Izmir, we see Çeşme Castle and its caravanserai structures. We listen to our guide’s explanation accompanied by the magnificent view of the castle. After our photo break there, we head to Alaçatı. Its cobblestone streets, stone houses, colorful streets, local products, and windmills are among the places that will attract your attention. The Herb Festival is held in Alaçatı every year in April. We give free time on Alaçatı streets, which host colorful streets and wonderful evenings. After our Alaçatı visit, we give our valued guests a swimming break on the endless blue of the Ilıca Beach, where the slogan of "Turkey’s Maldives" suits best, our country’s most popular blue-flag beach, with the unique harmony of sea, sand, and sun. After the beach of Ilıca where we give you a break to sunbathe on its velvet-like sands and dive into its blues, we depart for our hotel in Izmir. Dinner and accommodation are at our hotel. IZMIR
DAY 3: IZMIR HISTORIC ELEVATOR-KONAK SQUARE-KONAK PIER-HISTORIC CLOCK TOWER-KORDON COAST-KEMERALTI BAZAAR-ÇORLU
After breakfast at the hotel in the morning, we start touring Izmir, the 3rd largest city in Turkey. We begin our city tour, where we will see unforgettable views as we explore Izmir, one of Turkey’s most important trade, fair, and student cities. We arrive at our first stop, the historic elevator. Although the elevator connecting two streets was built in 1907, it has no equivalent in Anatolia. The historic elevator was built to provide fast and easy transportation between two neighborhoods, where one can reach the other with 155 steps. Afterwards, we see the historic clock tower located in Konak Square. The most important feature of the 25-meter-high clock tower is its original architecture built with cut stones. The Clock Tower is very important for the people of Izmir and is generally preferred as a meeting point. Konak is one of Izmir’s centers of culture, art, and entertainment. Guests who wish may spend time strolling around the Konak Pier square. We give free time at the Kemeraltı Bazaar. Hosting 15,000 businesses, Kemeraltı Bazaar has taken its place in Izmir as a large open-air shopping area. Thanks to this feature, it attracts thousands of local and foreign tourists every year. We give a tea and coffee break in the Karşıyaka area. Along the seaside promenade, there are also dining options to suit every taste. Here, it is also possible to find alternatives such as boyoz, gevrek, kumru, mussels, and kokoreç, which are among Izmir’s famous flavors. If you wish, you can lie on the grass and read your book, or you can walk or ride a bicycle, or you can sit by the sea with your friends and chat, enjoying the view and the peace. As our program ends, in the evening we set off on our return journey with you, our valued guests, through Izmir-Çanakkale-Tekirdağ to return to Çorlu. We bid farewell by dropping off our valued guests at the points where we picked you up, hoping to see you again on our next ÇORLU TRAVEL tour.
Our approximate return time to Çorlu, the starting point of the tour, is between 02:00 - 03:00.

Our recommendations:
Since we generally do walking at the sightseeing locations, we recommend that you come prepared with this in mind and dress according to the seasonal conditions. (fleece/sweater, hat, sunglasses, raincoat, etc.) Prefer layered clothing from thin to thick (you sweat while walking, and may feel cold when you stop). Your shoes should be suitable for walking (dirt, rocks, mud, water, etc.). An ankle boot or sneakers would be good. Bring a small backpack (your hands should be free during the walk). აუცილებლად bring spare clothing, socks, and shoes. If you have any medications, and if you are taking photos/videos, remember to bring enough film and spare batteries. We are happy to host you on our tours.

The vehicle types used in our tours are classified as follows according to the number of people. The vehicle types listed below are assigned according to the number of people in each tour.
