Ayvalik, a jewel on Turkey’s Aegean coast, blends turquoise waters with a rich tapestry of history and culture. The town’s narrow streets wind past Ottoman‑era houses, while the harbor buzzes with local fishing boats and the aroma of freshly grilled seafood. Your journey begins in the nearby city of Balikesir, where a comfortable transfer brings you to your hotel in Ayvalik for a relaxed first evening.
Day two takes you to Cennet Tepesi – the famed Paradise Hill – offering panoramic views of the Aegean and the surrounding archipelago. From there you continue to the picturesque Island of Cunda, where cobbled lanes and neoclassical façades create an idyllic setting. The tour continues with a visit to the historic Taksiyarhis Church Museum, a former Greek church that now houses artifacts spanning centuries. A brief shopping break lets you explore local crafts before returning to Ayvalik’s heart to admire the elegant Saatli and Cinarlı mosques, the serene Ayazma (Phenoromeni) Church, and the bustling Kucukkoy Square. A stop at Seytan Sofrasi provides a taste of local coffee culture with a stunning sea view.
On the final day, you enjoy a leisurely morning before your transfer back to Balikesir Airport. The itinerary, guided by a professional English‑speaking guide, ensures you experience the best of Ayvalik’s natural beauty, architectural heritage, and culinary delights, with comfortable ground transport throughout.

My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.

Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
