Değerli Misafirlerimiz, GEZİ TUTKUNLARI farkıyla konforlu araçlarımız ve keyifli yolculuğumuz eşliğinde unutulmaz bir güne başlıyoruz. Tarih ve doğanın en etkileyici buluşmalarından birine doğru yola çıkıyoruz.
Yol üzerinde alacağımız kahvaltı molası (dahildir) sonrası ilk durağımız, adını aşk tanrıçası Afrodit’ten alan Afrodisias Antik Kenti oluyor. Antik çağın en önemli kültür ve sanat merkezlerinden biri olan bu eşsiz kentte Tetrapylon Kapısı’ndan geçiyor, hayatını bu bölgeye adamış arkeolog Kenan Erim’in izlerini takip ediyoruz.
Gezimiz sırasında Aphrodite Tapınağı, devasa stadyum, agora, tiyatro, odeon ve antik latrina gibi yapıları keşfederek tarihin derinliklerine doğru yolculuk yapıyoruz. Ardından antik kentten çıkarılan eserlerin sergilendiği müzeyi ziyaret ederek gezimizi tamamlıyoruz.
Tarih dolu keşfimizin ardından rotamızı lezzete çeviriyor ve Karacasu’nun meşhur pidesini tatmak üzere öğle yemeği molası veriyoruz (ekstra).
Günün ikinci bölümünde ise doğanın en huzurlu noktalarından biri olan Işıklı Göl’e hareket ediyoruz. Nilüfer çiçekleriyle süslenmiş bu eşsiz doğa harikasında göl manzarası eşliğinde serbest zaman veriyoruz. Dileyen misafirlerimiz, yaklaşık 1 saat süren 4 kişilik motorlu sandallarla yapılan Nilüfer Gölü turuna (ekstra) katılarak bu görsel şöleni yakından deneyimleyebilirler.
Doğa ve huzur dolu bu keyifli anların ardından İzmir’e dönüş yolculuğumuza başlıyoruz. Akşam saat 00:00 – 01:00 aralığında sizleri almış olduğumuz noktalara bırakarak bir başka GEZİ TUTKUNLARI organizasyonunda görüşmek üzere vedalaşıyoruz.
