This was a jam packed tour we went to Jesus beach where we were told the fable of Layla and Ferhat, then moved on to visit a lady in her old home which she used as a museum to show how people lived in the small villages of the mountains after a refreshing apple tea we moved on to a beautiful waterfall then off to lunch which was a very tasty kebab and rice best I’ve had in all my visits to turkey we then went to an olive oil factory which was amazingly informative and fun to learn about the owner is 3rd generation and tells you the story of his grandfather we loved this after this we went on to a mosque in another little village the whole day was a really good way to learn about traditional Turkish culture and great way to make memories
Hello, thank you for your kind comment. We are glad if we could make you happy.
Plunging in the waterfall cold waters was great. Else the trip to the villages and the beach was ok.
Thank you very much for your kind comment :). We are very happy that you were satisfied.
It is nice to drink tea under the approximately 2000-year-old plane tree. Tea was 10 TL, black mulberry drink was 40 TL and it was very nice. There is also a place selling local products.

Hi, Thank you very much for your nice review. Hope see you again. Regards Atilla Arman
Bayar is an ancient Aegean village where we have a coffee break under a historic farm-turning stove. A place visitable for honey and olive oil can be visited just for a coffee bite like us.
Hi, Thank you very much for your nice review. Hope see you again. Regards Atilla Arman
After spending days on the beach or having had numerous boat trips, one could need a simple road trip to the nearby villages where mother nature is awaiting for everyone to embrace them and feed them with beauty and affection. The day starts with a stop at Jesus Beach, an amazing natural reserve where one can walk in the water from one side of the beach to the other. You can also take photos with the beautiful parrots there! Then, you will have a stop at a nearby mosque where the tour guide will explain the Islamic religious rituals and traditions. The next stop was actually my favorite: You will be able to closely observe how women villagers produce carpets! It is mind-blowing! In fact, the carpet industry is very well-known in Turkey, and having the chance to actually meet the master minds behind it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! After that, you will walk up a mountain to a wonderful location where you will be able to see the breathtaking waterfalls and take unique photos. Finally, you will have lunch in an old traditional restaurant! The only problem that I have personally faced was in bus as the air conditioner was not functioning.
