Tour Program
Kuşadası, which is a beach resort town on Türkiye's western Aegean coast, is also a major cruise ship destination. Its seafront promenade, marina, and harbour are lined with hotels and restaurants. Just offshore on Pigeon Island is a walled Byzantine castle that once guarded the town, connected to the mainland via causeway.
We start to collect our group from Didim at 8:00 am and aim to depart by 8:30 am. After about 50 minutes we will reach Kuşadası and our first stop is to visit Güvercinada Castle, which is the symbol of Kuşadası. It was built in the 10th century and was used by both the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires. Having been renovated, the castle is well worth visiting.
Afterwards,Traditional Market where you can enjoy the delights of what's on offer and have fun with haggling for a few bargains. Buy a few souvenirs or indulge in a few of the delicious sweet treats such as baklava and Kunefe, and maybe even select a few aromatic spices and chat with the locals. Of course, there will be time for us to stop for a coffee break to taste their traditional Turkish Coffee!
After coffee break visit the famous Mehmet Paşa Kervansaray (Caravansarai), which is also said to be the first Landmark and one of the symbols of Kuşadası and is another favourite place visited by tourists coming to Kuşadası on their trip to Türkiye!
Next a traditional Turkish restaurant to enjoy our lunch at a local restaurant. Then we will drive 30 minutes to Şirince Village, which was once a Greek village until the population exchanged between Turks and Greeks. When the village was evacuated the Turks began using the houses. Şirince has been known for its vineyards since the Hittite period. The most delicious wines were made in this village for Kings and Emperors. The local people and some well known manufacturers have been, and still are producing this wine.
During this tour you will have the opportunity to do some wine tasting and purchase some if you wish. Walking through the narrow, cobbled streets, will take you back thousands of years, and you'll also be able to browse for souvenirs and buy some handmade crafts and even organic home made cheese and other food. We will depart at 16:00 and arrive back to Didim by 18:30.
