TOUR PROGRAM

Our valuable guests will be welcomed at the designated stops in the early morning hours, and our journey begins with the comfortable buses of GEZİ TUTKUNLARI. After a breakfast break at our restaurant, we reach Geyikli Pier, one of the charming places where the movie “Eyvah Eyvah” was filmed, via Ezine, and we enter the ferry terminal to reach Bozcaada. After approximately a 45-minute ferry ride, we arrive in Bozcaada, known in ancient times as Tenedos, which was used as the base of the A.N.Z.A.C Corps fighting for the British during the Gallipoli Campaign and is famous for its vineyards. Our first stop will be Bozcaada Castle, which has been under many administrations from the Genoese, Venetians, Romans, Byzantines, and Ottomans. After our visit here, we head to Alaybey Mosque, the first mosque in Bozcaada. Here, we also see the courtyard where the graves of 14 individuals who contributed to the Ottoman Empire are located. After visiting the mosque, we will take a walk through the colorful streets formed by the Historical Greek Houses of Bozcaada, which were abandoned after the Greek population, which constituted 80% of Bozcaada during the Ottoman period, migrated to Western Thrace after the population exchange. We will visit Çiçek Pastanesi, known for making the region's local delicacies, including the famous Bozcaada almond cookies. Don't forget to taste the mouth-watering almond cookies. Our next stop will be the Greek Orthodox Church, Meryemana Church, and then we will have free time for shopping in Bozcaada market, where we recommend Bozcaada wines and tomato jam. Afterward, we proceed to Bozcaada Port, take the ferry back to Geyikli, and then head towards Izmir. After breaks along the way, we arrive in Izmir around 23:00 and bid farewell to our valued guests, hoping to see you again in another GEZİ TUTKUNLARI program.
