TOUR PROGRAM

DAY 1: MARMARIS-ÇEŞME TRANSFER-ÇEŞME-CHOSON CATAMARAN JOURNEY-CITY CENTER TOUR - WINDMILLS PHOTO BREAK - LIDL MARKET SHOPPING - OPTIONAL GREEK NIGHT - HOTEL

We meet our valued guests at Eşref Girginç Park (across from LC Waikiki) at 02:00 and set off towards Çeşme Port, the departure point of Çeşme-Chios trips.

We reach Çeşme Ulusoy Port around 08:00 in the morning and after ticket and passport controls, we board our ferry. After our journey that will take about half an hour, we reach the island and meet our guide. After customs procedures, we place our suitcases in our waiting vehicle and start exploring Chios Island, the hidden treasure of the Aegean.

Together with our guide, we see the Chios market called Aploterya, the Mecidiye Mosque built by Sultan Abdulmecid, and the Vounaki Square, the largest and busiest square on the island of Chios. Afterwards, we visit the Chios Castle, which was built during the Byzantine period but later became the administrative center of the island during the Genoese and Ottoman periods, and visit the Ottoman works inside. After our shopping and lunch break, our next stop will be the 4 windmills called Tabakika, which stand out as one of the most important symbols of the island on every platform. The historical windmills' function was to draw water to the tanneries, which gave their name to the region. In recent years, they have been restored with the contributions of the municipality and have become a memorable spot that all tourists visiting the island should not leave without seeing. After our photo break here, we continue our tour with a shopping break at LIDL, the largest supermarket in the island, famous for its special Easter promotions. After completing our visits in this way, we move on to the tavern night, which is an optional entertainment of the Greek Islands.

GREEK NIGHT: If you wish, you can join an unforgettable Greek night by tasting traditional island dishes for dinner and enjoying Greek music and dances accompanied by “Bouzouki”.

FEE: €50.00 (live music, fixed menu meal and unlimited local drinks)

This monastery has been declared a world cultural heritage by UNESCO. Afterwards, we visit Anavatos Village, which has been considered the most protected village of the island for centuries, and learn its sad history. Then we head towards Avgonima Village for lunch. On the way back, we go to Kambos, one of the most interesting and special villages of the island with its magnificent mansions from the Genoese period (14-15th century) and medieval architecture. In this region, we will have a coffee break in the garden of a beautiful mansion from ancient times.

It is held on the last day of Easter celebrations, which follow a 40-day fast. It is believed that Jesus ascended to heaven.

DAY 3: SOUTH ISLAND TOUR - CHIOS ISLAND - CESME FERRY - CESME - MARMARIS TRANSFER

After breakfast at our hotel, we take our place in our vehicle and start our tour towards the villages in the south of the island called Mastihahoria, which has the monopoly on mastic production in the world. Our first stop on our tour is Armolia Village, famous for its handmade ceramics for hundreds of years, and we take a short break to visit one of the famous ceramic workshops. Then, we move on to Mesta, the labyrinth village, one of the other popular villages on the island. You will get lost in time during our tour in this ancient medieval village, famous for its magnificent medieval architecture and Taksiarhis Church, one of the most important and magnificent churches on the island of Chios. Like other villages, this village, which was built to protect against pirate attacks, has only two entrances and exits; in case of danger, these doors were closed and security was ensured in this way. After our tours, we reach the village square and have a coffee break. Afterwards, we set off towards the fairytale village of Pyrgi. Pyrgi Village is the most frequented place for tourists visiting the island with its narrow streets bearing traces of the Middle Ages, houses built adjacent to each other to protect against pirate attacks and colored with a special plaster technique. We think that you will be amazed by the geometric patterned houses of this village, where you will feel like you are traveling in time. After completing our village visits within the scope of the South Island tour, we go to a tavern by the sea for lunch. After completing our visits within the scope of the Gumney Island tour, we set off to board our ferry to Chios Port. After our journey, we reach Çeşme Port. We complete our passport procedures and meet with our vehicle and captain waiting for us at the port. With the happiness of having had a different experience and discovering another island, we set off on our return journey to Marmaris and reach Marmaris at midnight. We leave you at the points where we picked you up and say goodbye until we meet on other tours.
