Dear guests, we are starting an unforgettable day with the comfort of our vehicles and a pleasant journey, thanks to İzmir Travel Enthusiasts. Get ready for one of the most impressive encounters of history and nature!

After our Breakfast on the way (Included), our first stop is the Aphrodisias Ancient City, named after the goddess of love, Aphrodite. In this enchanting city, one of the most important cultural and artistic centers of antiquity, you will pass through the Tetrapylon gate that greets you with its grandeur and follow the traces of archaeologist Kenan Erim, who dedicated his life to this city. While discovering unique structures such as the Temple of Aphrodite, the massive stadium, agora, latrina, theater, and odeon, you will feel as if you are inside history. Then, we crown this unique experience with our museum visit where artifacts unearthed from the ancient city are exhibited.

After this history-filled exploration, we turn our route to taste the famous Karacasu pide with a lunch break (Extra). In the second half of the day, we meet with one of nature's most peaceful landscapes: Işıklı Lake. In this unique natural wonder adorned with water lilies, time seems to stand still amidst the dancing lights on the lake and the sounds of birds. Guests who wish can join a Boat Tour (Extra) for about 1 hour, passing through the lilies with motorized boats for a visual feast.

After enjoying the beauty and tranquility of nature, we proceed to our return journey to İzmir. Between 23:00 and 00:00, we bid farewell while dropping you off at the points where we picked you up, hoping to see you again in the next TRAVEL ENTHUSIASTS organization. In this tour, you will touch history and rejuvenate with nature… Don't miss it!
