• Kusadasi - Start the day with a convenient pickup from your hotel or cruise ship in Kusadası. Meet the guide and driver, and step into your private, air-conditioned vehicle. Begin the adventure with a delightful mini Turkish breakfast, including simit (sesame bread), local cheese, olives, and Turkish tea.

• Selcuk - Afterwards, savor two popular local street foods: doner kebab, thinly sliced marinated meat cooked on a vertical spit, and kokorec, a seasoned grilled delicacy chopped with spices.

Continue with a brief cultural walk in Selcuk. Visit the Isabey Mosque, a remarkable example of Seljuk architecture, and the St. John Basilica, constructed on the believed tomb of St. John the Apostle.

Next, enjoy freshly baked Turkish pide (flatbread), often referred to as “Turkish pizza,” with a variety of toppings.
No Turkish experience is complete without a cup of traditional Turkish coffee served in a small fincan. Accompany it with your choice of baklava or dondurma (Turkish ice cream) for a perfect ending.
