Here we will get information about the Clock Tower from our guide, take our group photo that will remain as a souvenir for us, and then we will have free time. During this free time, guests who wish can have their morning coffees at Konak Square, while those who wish can go to the seaside for a short walk.

After receiving information about Çeşme Castle from our guide, we start touring the castle. After completing our castle visit, we will have free time in Çeşme. During this free time, we recommend trying the ice creams specific to Çeşme. After our free time, we board our bus and move on to our next stop, Alaçatı. With its narrow and cobbled streets built on Arnavut stones, where Greek architecture meets Ottoman architecture, Alaçatı will leave us in awe. After receiving brief information about Alaçatı from our guide, we will take our lunch break to enjoy the famous kumru before starting our exploration of Alaçatı streets. After our lunch, we will have free time until the time indicated by our guide.

On the last day of the Turperest Swimming Break Ege Tour, we will head to Ayvalık after having breakfast at the hotel. First, we will see the Ayvalık Harbor and take a pleasant stroll among the Ayvalık houses that we will never get tired of photographing with their doors, door knockers, windows, and wooden and stone craftsmanship. After seeing the Ayvalık Clock Tower Mosque, originally built as a church by the Greeks in 1870 and converted to a mosque in 1828, we will have some free time. During this free time, you can stroll around the market and buy souvenirs and memorabilia.

In Cunda Island, we will take a nostalgic tour with our guide that will take you back in time. We will see the Taksiryannis Church, which is the best-preserved among the eight oldest churches and photograph it from the outside. The old stone houses where the Greeks used to live will charm us, allowing us to capture wonderful photo moments on the cobblestones. Then, we will proceed to Sarımsaklı Beach, which has a 7 km long and 100 meters wide sandy beach and is a preferred holiday destination for thousands of tourists every year. Here, we will have a swimming break until the time set by our guide. After our swim break, we will head to the last point of our tour, Devil's Table. When we reach Devil's Table, we will see all the Ayvalık Islands and the island of Lesbos from the top. You will notice a large footprint here. It is said that this footprint belongs to the Devil, and that the other foot is on the opposite mountain, where people throw coins while making a wish. After receiving information about Devil's Table from our guide, we will have some free time. During this free time, you can enjoy tea or coffee alongside the magnificent view and immortalize this view with photos.
