Highlights

Türkiye’s Aegean coast comes into focus on this private full-day journey from Izmir to Çeşme and Alaçatı. With a private car and driver for eight hours, the tour combines flexible sightseeing, seaside scenery, and swimming without the challenges of navigation, parking, or public transport. Pickup is provided from any Izmir hotel or preferred address, followed by a comfortable drive to the Çeşme Peninsula. Visit Alaçatı, known for its cobblestone streets, traditional houses, colorful bougainvillea, and water sports. Continue to Çeşme Castle, a 16th-century Ottoman landmark overlooking Çeşme Bay. Free time is available to visit the castle and archaeological museum or explore the area independently. Swimming time is included at Ilıca Beach. A private beach in Alaçatı may be chosen instead for an additional entrance fee.

About İzmir

İzmir is Turkey's third-largest city, an Aegean port with an old bazaar, a seafront promenade and the ancient ruins of Ephesus and Pergamon within reach.

İzmir, known to the ancient Greeks as Smyrna, lies at the head of a deep gulf on the Aegean coast. Konak Square has an ornate clock tower from 1901 and the small Konak Mosque, and the Kemeraltı bazaar sprawls behind it with workshops, mosques and old caravanserais. The Asansör, a historic lift in the Karataş district, rises to a terrace overlooking the gulf, and a long promenade, the Kordon, runs beside the water.

Top-ranked sights in İzmir: Pergamon (Pergamum), Sardis (Sart), Bergama Asklepion (Pergamon Asclepeion).
