Our Adventure Begins
Your day starts with a warm welcome at your pre-arranged pick-up point. From there, we’ll head to the charming town of Akyaka, where our first stop is the renowned West Cafe. Nestled beside the tranquil river, this is the perfect spot to enjoy a delicious breakfast in a serene setting. Choose from a variety of options, including traditional Turkish breakfast spreads with freshly baked breads, cheeses, and honey, or indulge in pancakes, omelets, or a full English breakfast. As you dine, soak in the peaceful ambiance, watch ducks glide by, and feel the gentle breeze set the tone for this relaxing day.
Stratonikeia: The City of Eternal Love
Next, we’ll journey to Stratonikeia, a captivating ancient city known as “the city of eternal love.” This site boasts fascinating Roman history and was once a center for gladiator training. Wander among the ruins, feel the echoes of the past, and immerse yourself in the stories of gladiators who performed here and, if lucky, retired to this very town.
