Travel toward the scenic coast of Izmir to reach the picturesque fishing village of Sigacik. Upon arrival, you will immediately notice the unique architecture and narrow streets enclosed by the striking Sigacik Castle, originally constructed in 1522 under the orders of Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent.

Near the fortress, visit the local Culture Museum to inspect authentic ethnographic pieces discovered during regional excavations. Afterward, continue your journey a short distance to the ancient archaeological site of Teos, with origins reaching back to the 10th century BC. Stroll through the impressive ruins of the acropolis, ancient city walls, old port, classical theater, and marvel at the colossal dimensions of the Temple of Dionysus, the grandest temple dedicated to the deity in Anatolia. As the afternoon draws to a close, reconvene with your transport for a comfortable evening return journey to Aydin, where you will be dropped off back at your hotel.

Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
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.
