BOZCAADA TOURS (24-27.07.2026)

BOZCAADA – GÖKÇEADA – BERGAMA

We're exploring the largest and most special islands of our beautiful country...

On this trip, we're straying from the beaten track, visiting the largest and most special islands in Turkey's Aegean Sea—each a paradise, each one more heavenly than the other, vibrant with the Aegean breeze, its vineyards brimming with fruit, and home to numerous civilizations. A delightful holiday package awaits you on these islands, which will captivate you with both their historical and cultural heritage and their lived experiences. We'll combine this holiday with the Bergama region, one of the oldest settlements in the history of civilization with its 8,500-year history and a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site, and we'll create wonderful memories together.

DAY 1: MARMARIS DEPARTURE - AYVALIK CENTER - TAKSİYARHİS MEMORIAL MUSEUM - SAATLİ MOSQUE - CUNDA ISLAND - ÇANAKKALE

At 6:00 a.m., we'll meet at Eşref Girginç Park (across from LC Waikiki) and depart for Ayvalık, where we'll explore the first of our delightful holiday. We'll arrive in Ayvalık city center and have a free lunch break. After our break, we'll explore the narrow streets and visit the Taksiyarhis Memorial Museum, also located in the center. While this church appears modest on the outside, its interior is quite magnificent and elegant in a neoclassical style. After touring the museum with our guide, we'll also visit the nearby Saatli Mosque and depart for Alibey (Cunda) Island. Shortly thereafter, we reach the island, named after Lieutenant Colonel Ali Çetinkaya, who first launched an armed attack during the War of Independence, defying the sultan's order to surrender to the Greeks. In 1964, Cunda was connected to the tiny island of Lale Island by a bridge, and from there to the town center, marking Turkey's first Bosphorus Bridge. With its charming cobblestone streets, stone houses, and stone architecture, we visit the Sevim and Necdet Kent Library, the most important landmarks on this island, and Fahrisin Hill, one of the island's most romantic spots. One of our most special visits on the island will be the magnificent Taksiyarhis Church. After restoration, the museum opened to the public as the Ayvalık Rahmi Koç Museum, where you can explore its unique and special collections. After completing all our island visits, we head to our Çanakkale hotel, where we will be staying. We have dinner at the hotel and rest. (ÇANAKKALE ACCOMMODATION) KULE HOTEL ÇANAKKALE

DAY 4: PERGAMA JOURNEY - PERGAMON ANCIENT CITY - CABLE CAR - ACROPOLIS - ASKLEPION - RETURN JOURNEY TO MARMARIS

After breakfast at our hotel, we complete check-out and depart for Bergama. The Ancient City of Bergama (Kingdom of Pergamon), one of the oldest settlements in history with its 8,500-year history and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, will be the first place we will visit on our itinerary. This ancient region, with its exceptionally beautiful nature and healing natural resources, was one of the most strategic cities of the Middle Ages, situated in the westernmost part of the East and the easternmost part of the West. In Bergama, we first ascend the Acropolis by cable car. After admiring the view of Pergamum from the Acropolis, home to military, official, and religious buildings, as well as the Temple of Athena, the library, the Trianium, water cisterns, ammunition depots, and the world's steepest-angled theater, we return to our vehicle by cable car and then visit Asclepion, one of the greatest cultural heritage sites of antiquity. With its medical, surgical, and paramedical treatments intertwined through indoctrination and belief, Asclepion earned its reputation as one of the most important health centers of its time, a reputation that has endured to this day. After these important visits, which will add invaluable insights into our historical and cultural heritage, we return to our waiting vehicle. After completing the final visits of our memorable holiday, we begin our return journey to Marmaris.
